Hilarious novel of boys competing in the Smelliest Sneaker
competition. A competition with a difference is being sponsored by
Slam Dunkers, makers of trainers even more famous than Nike! The
kid who produces the smelliest, stinkiest, nastiest pair of
trainers will win three pairs of prize footwear. The snag is that
the smell has to be made by natural means, so, no washing feet for
weeks, sleeping with your shoes on, jogging, no socks etc. Colin
has tried everything and thinks he's produced the vilest pair in
the world, he is sure to win the competition and impress Poppy, the
girl he has a crush on. However, Colin's mum won't let him keep the
sneakers in the apartment. Colin has to leave them outside door,
much to the chagrin of his neighbours but delight to Bruno, a
neighbour's dog! The trainers, naturally, get pinched. Colin is
convinced that the unscrupulous Jack Dunn has nicked them, so a
little counter thieving has to take place, but, uh oh, you don't
mess with the class bully, particularly when he has a vile older
brother. Missing trainers, bull dogs who think they are bloodhounds
but won't follow a trail if it involves crossing a road, false
accusations and good intentions gone awry all play a part in this
story. In the end it's Poppy who wins the competition, along with
Colin's heart. This is a very funny book and pitched right at a
chlld's level. Combined with the warmth of family life and the
value of good friends, it has a terrific feel-good factor as well
as a plot that keeps you guessing until the very end. Perfect for
summer reading.
