Best Foot Forward

Yes, this is my last Joan Bauer book for a while. Before I say anything, though, let me just mention this is th sequel to another one of her books, Rules of the Road. So if this one sounds, good, read that book first because you'll understand a lot more. Click here for more info on that book:

So anyway, this book was about a girl named Jenna who works in a shoe store. (Remember when I said Joan Bauer makes you want to pick up the main character's hobbies in her books? Well she must be a frickin' genius multitasker to know so much about so many different passions.) Jenna loves her job and has a real passion for selling quality shoes, which is what Gladstone Shoes is all about.
Unfortunately, Gladstone recently merged with another shoe company, one that focuses on cost instead of quantity. They put Mrs. Gladstone, Jenna's boss, in the position of Quality Control Manager, which gives her no real power whatsoever. When things start going downhill in shoe sales, Jenna does a little investigating and discovers a huge scheme. Will she and Mrs. Gladstone be able to bring the company back under control?
This book was really funny and a good story. Quick read, too. Above all, I liked how it was about a high school girl with the normal everyday life dealing with huge company problems and taking charge of this business even though she feels like she can't even take charge of her own life. Pretty good book.
