Shoe Wars (2021) is Liz Pichon’s standalone children’s novel, separate from the Tom Gates universe. The story follows siblings who inherit a family shoe business and turn it into an all-out rivalry. Pichon fills the book with her usual mix of drawings, jokes, and visual gags.
The book has a faster pace than the diary-style Tom Gates format, but it carries the same sense of humor. It works well for readers who have outgrown Tom Gates but still enjoy Pichon’s art and comedic timing.
