What is The Wrong Shoes about?

Will knows he has the wrong shoes, a worn-out coat and a life that makes him feel different from everyone else at school. At home, money is tight, and each day brings new worries. When a difficult situation gives Will the chance to help others, he discovers strengths he never knew he had. With support from unexpected friends, Will begins to see that his circumstances do not define him and that even small acts of courage can make a difference.
