Summary
"They’re running wild. Feral! If I had a shilling for every time a Scott Street boy said he was doing something when he was doing something else entirely I’d be living in Cardiff in a house made of Lardy cake. What did I say? Bad things will happen!"
The idea of the war coming to their small, impoverished Welsh mining village always seemed remote, but with one explosive event and the arrival of the Americans preparing for the invasion of France, the people of Treherbert find their world turned upside down.
But war brings distrust, lies, and danger. And as the villagers find themselves hopelessly divided, Anthony, an 11-year-old who hasn’t had a pair of shoes in years, is going to have to choose between what is popular and what is right.
Joyous, thrilling and nostalgic, Emma Kennedy’s Shoes For Anthony will have you wiping your eyes one moment and beaming from ear to ear the next.

Well worth buying
Anything written and narrrated by Emma Kennedy is always good but in this case the story from about half way through became very predictable.

An emotional story
I laughed and cried in equal measure. The story takes you through a roller coaster of a ride. The narration is outstandjng and makes the story even mord powerful. I cannot recommend this book too highly. It is a must listen to.

Great story but sound of narration variable
I didn’t think I would finish the book as I struggled with the dynamics of the narration. The intonation and accent was great but the variable sound levels meant I was altering the volume, I soon got used to the shouting then the very quiet section. I’m glad I persevered as I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to take Anthony home and get him some shoes and new shorts.
