Another children's classic from Clifton Pugh: Sneakers in a Tree. Quippy had one thing in common with other kids. He loved the hot and humid summer holidays... a lot. But unlike the other kids, Quippy was an extremely clever and cunning kid, and he had a lot of free time courtesy of the summer break... A dangerous recipe. His curiosity was piqued when he saw two boys throwing rocks at a tree and wondered what they were doing when he saw the object of their attention. The sneakers were entangled in the branches of a tree and they looked expensive and were quite popular. Quippy decided he wanted those for himself. But how is he going to outsmart two hostile boys who had already called dibs on the shoes and were willing to defend their prize? Clifton Pugh writes entertaining, difficult to put down stories with unforgettable characters. So grab a chair and sit back. You're in good hands!
