Jenna
Boller has a newfound job and is going to Al-Anon meetings to help her cope with
her dad's problems. Everything is
going fine at Gladstone's Shoe Store until Tanner Cobb attempts stealing a pair
of shoes. To make up for his actions, he offers to work at the store. Jenna
is queasy at the notion, but Mrs. Gladstone has another idea. Tanner starts
working at the store and conflicts arise. Mrs. Gladstone's son is now in charge
of everything that goes on in the Gladstone's Shoe Stores. For one thing, the
shoes are being made incorrectly, and a rebellion forms.
In this book it talks about everyday problems, and about
second chances to change your life. I would recommend this book for middle
school students because I think we have the hardest time with second chances and
we should realize they won’t kill us.
