The Blue Shoe: A Tale Of Thievery, Villainy, Sorcery, And Shoes (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This is actually a really good book. I like how there is a lot of action in this book. With the action there is also lessons learned. This includes teamwork, like when humans and Aukis fought together to defeat Slag; caring for one another, like when Shadow took care of his brother who's name is Ulf; have courage, like when Hap had to leave his father in order to escape the dogs right after he just gotten to see his father; trust others, like when humans and Aukis have to trust each other in order to win the battle they were fighting, and don't judge a book by its cover, like when Hap saved the goddess Xexnax three times when Xexnax was a beggar girl and he didn't know that. I hope you read this book! I loved this book. It had me at the first page by starting off almost as if it were a fairy tale. It takes place in a mountain town run by an uncredulous mayor and his very spoiled and selfish wife. They feel the whole town should be at their beck and call and anything they want or fancy,well mostly the mayor's wife she should have. Even if it means hiring criminals to dig and run a prison at a mountain of mining to get what they want. This book is sort of a dark tale but one that also has a lesson to be learned. The main character is a thirteen year old boy named Hap, who is the hero of the story. When his mother dies his father gets so caught up in his sorrow he lets his business go by the wayside and is sent off the dreaded mountain where all the towns beggers are sent to never to be seen again.Grel is the towns cobbler who is commisioned to make a beutiful jeweled shoe for an unknown person, hench the mysstery begins. The shoe is what the story is centered around bringing in the best and worst in the people around it.The ending of the story is what brings the genre of fantasy into the story as well.
