up a best-selling series like Tom Gates is no easy

feat, but Liz Pichon does so in huge style in Shoe Wars

Wars is full of Pichon’s characteristic warmth, humour

and quirky illustrations.’ The Bookseller

Flying shoes that Ruby and Bear just

happen to be hiding…

wedge-of-your-feet adventure like no other!

Laughs

and pictures on every single page!

More praise for Shoe Wars:

‘As

with the Tom Gates books, every page here is dynamic and attention-grabbing,

packed with cartoons and typeface trickery.’ Financial

Times

‘An original and outrageous storyline

gives plenty of scope for absurd inventions, loathsome baddies

and heroic deeds from underequipped underdogs. This is a tale oozing

creativity and packed with pen and ink illustrations, exciting

and expressive typography and visual jokes.’ Booktrust

‘Shoe Wars is an exciting story with lively characters

that offer plenty of laughs […] Like Pichon’s other books,

it can be enjoyed as a funny, action-packed page-turner, but also

as a comic book of cartoons so that children can keep returning

to their favourite bits again and again.’ Books for Keeps
