Crazy things are about to happen to 12-year old Frankie Jackson after she signs on to compete in a reality TV show. Not only does she have to win a televised pitching competition, but she also has to figure out who burned down an abandoned houseboat and how come a 15-year old con artist wants to become her BFF. And weirdest of all - why is she getting phone calls from someone claiming to be the "real" Frankie Jackson? I Like Your Shoes, the third book in the Frankie Jackson mystery series, takes place on the Sausalito houseboat docks. "{T}he book features believable, amusingly insightful narration by its 12-year-old star, and it balances its drama-including youth in dangerous situations-perfectly between having a bite and being appropriate for young readers ... a worthwhile children's mystery for kids and tweens." -- Kirkus Review
