The cover of the book THE WRONG SHOES by Tom Percival. Book shows a boy sitting on the curb in yellow t-shirt and school trousers, and tattered shoes.

This week's #middlegrade is #TheWrongShoes by #TomPercival. With strong, accessible writing, wonderful illustrations and believable characters, Tom absolutely nails the devastating effects of poverty – and the power of hope to transform us. A lovely and important book!

We don’t often #blog about #MG & #chapterbooks but this year we enjoyed #MouseandMole, #MillyMcCarthy's hilarious adventures & the very thought provoking #TheWrongShoes 📚

#TheWrongShoes paints a stark but realistic portrait of the struggles that many children in #poverty are faced with – lack of money for heating, new clothes & basic foodstuffs put many children at a disadvantage in school.
