Charming and delightful book, the first in a series of books based on the character Arielle, written for children ages nine through twelve. This is a longer length chapter book based on Arielle and her two pets, Britches, the dog, and Nosy, the black cat. Arielle and her pets love to take walks in the hollow. Britches and Nosy are unusual in the fact that they both communicate in English with their mistress.

One day the three friends come upon a little girl sitting by a tree crying and barefoot. Upon hearing a loud man’s voice, she runs away. Arielle and her pets are mystified and worried for the stranger’s safety. They want to meet her again and agree to find a pair of shoes for her to wear. In the meantime, Nosy finds a pair of ballet slippers that fell out of a box near a neighbor’s house. They bring the shoes to the hollow, but cannot find the girl. Eventually one day the shoes disappear, and after repeated trips to the hollow, the girl appears and tells them her name, Francesca. She thanks them and promises to dance for them one day.

On Halloween night a stranger comes to the door and beckons them. Nosy lives up to her reputation and decides to investigate by following her home. That initiates a trail to another mystery that the three friends will have to solve. Will they ever learn the true identity of Francesca and why she has chosen Arielle and her pet family? No spoilers here, but children will learn it is better to give unselfishly and always be true to your own passion in life.

While it may seem difficult for tweens to accept this story line, it works seamlessly. You want to believe in all the characters and empathize with them. The vocabulary of the text is challenging enough but not overwhelming for the average reader. I had to finish reading it one sitting. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series.

The Girl With No Shoes B J Rand 9781497317635 Books Reviews

This was a well written, well thought out, approachable story. It is ideally suited to school aged children with a desire for adventure and who enjoy using their imagination. Even as an adult I was able to appreciate this story. It was a quick, light read with a very pointed message winding its way through the story. The story is fun and magical. I loved the way that the author inspires you to use your imagination, bringing the story to life.

The characters in this tale were ideally suited to the intended audience. Magical beings and talking pets take centre stage in a manner that will entice children. Their adventures and actions sparked my interest. I appreciated how they were on their own in this novel, without unending parental guidance, yet were never in any sort of danger or trouble.

This story is definitely different from my usual reads, but I found it an enriching change of pace. Rand captivated me with her magic & had me thinking about what was, is, and could be.

Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
I got lost in the book like I was in the book. It is the best book in the world
I gave this book as a present to my granddaughters and they loved it. What a magical story!
Bought as a girft for a granddaughter.
It was a simple book for children around 9 years old. It is a fun and magical book to read.
Budding young ballerinas and young children will love this magical book. Ariella is a young girl who follows her cat and dog on an adventure. The cat and dog can talk and help solve the mystery of a magical girl who has no shoes. Learning how to trust, have patience and feel their intuition, Ariella is taught how to believe who she is by the magical girl and given her gift of art. It is nice there is no parental intrusions, rules or voice. Would make a nice a Christmas gift.
A delightful story about Arielle and her dog Britches and cat Nosey and their adventures to the Hollow. A wonderful example of learning to trust one's intuition and overcome one's fears as Nosey and Britches both demonstrate in their quest to learn more about the illusive Francesca. Very magical. I plan to give my niece a copy for Christmas and am looking forward to the sequel. Good work B.J. Rand!
