Content
Robin hopes his new shoes will finally impress the cool kids, but they just make fun of him, as usual. The left shoe, however, contains a surprise: a thumb-sized Shaolin master named Master Ming, who is in search of a pupil to teach. Robin has to work very hard and prove himself, but with Master Ming’s encouragement he outdoes himself and earns his schoolmates’ respect. In the end he learns that it isn’t his shoes that make him cool, but his actions.
About the Series

These books are written in extra-large print. When children are ready for longer stories, the second level of Reading Raven offers short chapter books, also in large print with illustrations that help readers follow the text. The third level is for readers who are becoming proficient, with longer chapters and increasingly complex stories, but still with accompanying pictures and highly readable print.
