'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
