Product Description

Synopsis

Tennis became important in the Heath Family's life early on - the twins were only nine, and the others younger when they started to play. But their grandfather and father before them had been top players - the four red-headed children had tennis in their blood. They join the competitive tournament circuit and battle hard to win! An absorbing story from an enormously popular children's author - and Noel Streatfeild's favourite book.

5.0 out of 5 stars So enthralling I could not put it down., 5 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Tennis Shoes (Paperback)
This is a story about four red haired children, Jim and Susan, the twins and their younger sister and brother, Nicolette and David. Their grandfather had been first-class at tennis, so had their father before he had been shot in the leg and could not play anymore.

Mr. and Mrs. Heath lived in Tulse Hill with their four children and Annie, the cook and general help and Miss Pinn, the governess, who they called Pinny. She also made the children's clothes as the Heath's were not that rich. Annie came from a circus family and this kept the children amused while growing up with her various acrobatics.

The children's father had given the twins tennis rackets for their birthday. During the holdiay while at their Grandfather's house, Grandfather saw that Jim had a good serve. Both Jim and Susan were the first to learn tennis with their father coaching them. This was when the twins were nine, Nicolette was seven and David was four. To encourage them in developing their tennis, the children's Grandfather gave them a little silver tennis house to collect money in to help pay for things to do with tennis. It was decided by the children that they should put some of their pocket money in it each week and any birthday money. But sometimes it was difficult, especially for Nicolette, who being a little lazy ended up regretting this for two birthdays and two Christmas's.

Again Jim and Susan were the first to get to join a tennis club, but it was Nicolette who through persistence and a little bit of deviousness got to join too. David, he enjoyed learning to play tennis, but his singing was his passion.

As the story evolves the children have quite a few interesting escapades, which Nicolette seems to get herself involved in, and of course a lot of tennis. Everyone supports and encourages each other to do their very best.

A wonderful book to lose yourself in and become one of those children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up!, 27 Oct 2011
This review is from: Tennis Shoes (Paperback)
My daughter said, "Noel Streatfeild has done it again! A really entertaining book! Also, I like the sporty feel to it. I didn't think that Noel was very sporty like tennis. I thought that she just focused on dancing as her sport. I still liked it though. The book came in lovely condition and I shall put it on my shelf next to all my other's by the amazing,Noel Streatfield!" She said she would reccomend it.
