Shoes for Anthony

By: Emma Kennedy

Narrated by: Emma Kennedy

"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.

I’m hooked on the authors style, transported by her prose and incredible narration. Can’t wait for her next book!

Great feel good story.

Great story with nicely developed characters. I was caught up with the main characters almost immediately.
The narrator did a remarkable job portraying each character.
Definitely a thumbs up from me.

Just a glorious book.

What a treasure of a book and an exceptional narrator in the author reading it. We loved every minute. Cried, laughed and lived every moment in the Welsh Valley. We're going to miss Anthony's antics and adventures. On to the next Emma Kennedy book.
