The Ultimate Trainers
What's the book about?
Jake discovers a shiny pair of trainers thrown away in the rubbish and decides to try them on, only to find they seem to have a mind of their own. As he trains for an important running race, the strange shoes make him faster than ever, but also lead him into some very unexpected adventures. Along the way, Jake must figure out where the trainers really came from and whether he’s brave enough to win the race using his own skills instead of their mysterious powers.

In the book, Jake finds a new pair of trainers in a rubbish bin. He puts them in his school locker to keep them safe and uses them to practice for the running championship race. Anna times each lap. The trainers seem to do the running for him.
One day when he goes to his locker, he finds the trainers are missing and realises that Kevin Beadle has taken them.

They see Kevin Beadle wearing them and he uses them to win the race.
After the race, the trainers get angry with Kevin Beadle and take him on a journey until he returns the trainers.
The main characters are
Jake, Anna and Kevin Beadle.
My favourite part of the book is
When Kevin Beadle is dragged around the town by the trainers.
I would also like to say
The people from the future use a calculator to sense where the trainers are.
