"Hilarious and impressive."

Shopping for Shoes is a story about passion and fashion and hearts
and soles!
Siobhan McClusky is a politically aware 13 year-old Scottish girl who
is passionate about global trade, multi-national conglomerates, and
climate change. Siobhan is also somewhat passionate about getting
Shaun Holmes to notice her. Shaun is also 13 but his only passion is -
shoes. Shaun has over 60 pairs: Nike Air Jordan™, Air Max Aggressor™,
Gazelle™, Corduroy Adidas™...his collection seems endless. Shaun’s
shoes express the essence of who he is and his philosophy on life is echoed
by the Nike™ logo - “JUST DO IT”. Even though a piece of Siobhan’s heart belongs to
Shaun, she knows she’ll have trouble getting him to notice her.
Using her smarts and a little fancy footwork, Siobhan manages to help
Shaun discover that there’s more to life than shoes...
Shopping for Shoes is a funny, heart warming tale of new found teenage
love that also deals with obsessions over brand names and global trade
issues in a thought provoking and humorous way that young people can
relate to.
