Not only were a mansion and title suddenly a possibility, but he also had a one-in-seven chance of inheriting an item worth five hundred million dollars. As the clock ticked down for him to make his selection from the will’s items, he used his heart instead of his head. Taking an old brown pair of shoes and fuzzy socks as his inherited item; the others walk away not only smiling at their new treasures, but laughing at his. It is the summer after eighth grade and suddenly Jarod’s life has changed drastically. Jarod is plunged into the excitement of this new world of wealth the inherited items have brought his family. Him and his best friend Tommy try to figure out why the shoes could be so valuable to Grandpa, then he finds a secret message inscribed on them (To walk a mile in a man’s shoes is to know the secrets of his heart) and learns that when used with the socks, he can connect with anyone, dead or alive!

About the Author
T.L. Tabor is the author of the Death, Diamonds, And Dirty Socks Tween Series. “After the first three books in this series I just couldn’t let these fun characters end there, so the next three books continued on with their surprising summer adventures of figuring out all the hidden magic and cool benefits of inheriting the title of Lord Kentwood III. And even after that, I am again eager to write the next three books in Jarod and Tommy’s adventure. It just doesn’t seem quite over yet, and I don’t want it to end.”
T.L. Tabor lives on the Big Island of Hawaii and has been intrigued by the wonder of magic since she was little. She wrote these books for her own daughter who was a voracious reader from a very young age. Her hope is that her readers will find the wonder of that magic in her book series and continue searching for it in their everyday lives as well. “You never really grow up, you just have more say in the fun things you get to do!”

I think this book would make kids think twice about the saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Creative!
I’m not into the covers too much but the story seems good.
I love middlegrade books. There is always adventure, mystery, and the spirit of exploration. I think the covers are really colorful and interesting.
