Shoe Wars by Liz Pichon

Book Genre Block - "Middle Grade" with girl reading book

Book Cover with two shoes that have turned into monster faces

This story is full of fun, laughs, dogs, and an evil shoe villain…what more could a middle-grade reader ask for?

Told through a narrator that grabs your interest right from the start, this is a book that is hard to put down. It’s light-hearted, but still managed to hit on topics of importance. I really enjoyed that this is a chapter book, but had create illustrations throughout the pages to help support the story.

This was a really fast read for me, but my son also read it and breezed through it. It’s well-written and has a story that engages the reader. I think it’s one that any young reader will enjoy, but those that like an adventure with bad guys and a humorous storyline will love it!

To Read or Not To Read:

I would recommend Shoe Wars for readers that enjoy stories like Captain Underpants with high-humor and fun illustrations!
