The Red Shoe by Ursula Dubosarsky, ISBN 9781741142853

> Children's Books > Fiction Books

Funny, tough-minded and tender, this is the story of Matilda and her two sisters growing up in Sydney in the 1950s at the time of the Petrov Affair. Punctuated by the headlines of the time, it shows with unsettling clarity how the large events of the world can impinge on ordinary lives.

RRP: $19.95
