A Sunday Times Children's Book of the Year 2020 pick. From the
imagination of Tom Gates' multi-million-copy bestselling creator
Liz Pichon... 'Following up a best-selling series like Tom Gates is
no easy feat, but Liz Pichon does so in huge style in Shoe Wars
[...] Bursting with imagination and fabulous gadgets, Shoe Wars is
full of Pichon's characteristic warmth, humour and quirky
illustrations.' The Bookseller Welcome to Shoe Town - and meet
brother and sister Bear and Ruby Foot. They are running out of time
to rescue their inventor dad from his hideous boss, Wendy Wedge.
She'll do ANYTHING to win the glitzy Golden Shoe Award and knows
that entering flying shoes is her hot ticket to the trophy. Flying
shoes that Ruby and Bear just happen to be hiding... Get ready for
a gadget-packed, wedge-of-your-feet adventure like no other! Fully

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
