Never Walk in Shoes That Talk — Katherine Applegate

The sixth book in a hilarious chapter book series about an accidental rule breaker from Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medalâ€"winning and bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan, Endling, and Wishtree.

It seems like everyone in Roscoe's class has Walkie-Talkies, the cool new shoes that let you talk to your friends, and his pal Gus wants a pair too. But Gus's parents won't buy them until his old, boring sneakers are worn out -- and that could take forever. Luckily, if there's one thing Roscoe is good at, it's destroying things. . . .

Roscoe and his comical misadventures will appeal to fans of Megan McDonald's Stink series; Nancy Krulik's George Brown, Class Clown series; Rebecca Elliott's Owl Diaries series; and Dan Gutman's My Weirder School series.
