My Friend Percy's Magical Gym Shoes by Ulf Stark

Percy's gym shoes are like no others. When he has them on, he can do exactly as he likes. Ulf wants these shoes, so that he also can become strong and courageous. The magic shoes are mouldy and smelly, and Ulf pays for them with his steam machine, his stopwatch, his stamp album...This is a fast-paced story of the unlikely friendship that builds between Percy, the school tough guy, and Ulf, eccentric, chubby and sensitive.

"A hilarious story of two boys who become very unlikely friends, it’s the first in the series of three books about Ulf and PercyIf you’re aged eight to 12, and especially if you’re a boy, you’ll love this book."

-- The Dominion Post (NZ)

"This is an engaging and humorous story of boyhood friendship, which captures both the vulnerability and the egocentricity of childhood. "

-- Booknotes
