Praise for Liz Pichon’s SHOE
WARS:
THE SUNDAY TIMES ‘Book of the Year’ Selection
‘Jokey text does [SHOE WARS] fancy
footwork on every illustrated page. Reluctant
readers will march through it. – THE SUNDAY TIMES
‘Every page here is dynamic and
attention-grabbing, packed with cartoons and typeface trickery’ –FT
“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
“Bursting with imagination and fabulous
gadgets, SHOE WARS is full of Pichon’s characteristic warmth, humor and quirky
illustrations.” –THE BOOKSELLER
“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 favorite
bits again and again.”–BOOKS FOR KEEPS
THE IRISH TIMES ‘Best Books
for Christmas’ Selection
