I found this one really stressful, but I still enjoyed it and the ending was beautiful. I really like that Streatfeild highlights the smaller, domestic troubles that come with your country being at war.

I don’t think I’d ever read this one but I ended up really enjoying it. While it maintains the shoes theme, it’s distinctly different than Theatre Shoes or Ballet Shoes. [Dec. 2009]

I've read this so many times; childhood classic.
