Description
Bad CreekThe story takes place primarily in two mythical counties, McBee and Wofford, ostensibly in the upstate South Carolina. Jadie, a boy of thirteen or fourteen, his mother having died when he was very young and his father in and out of jail, is virtually alone in the world. Having spent most of his young life being shuttled from one foster home to another, he finds himself in the custody of an ill tempered aunt, an obese and miserable woman who seems to
The story takes place primarily in two mythical counties, McBee and Wofford, ostensibly in the upstate South Carolina. Jadie, a boy of thirteen or fourteen, his mother having died when he was very young and his father in and out of jail, is virtually alone in the world. Having spent most of his young life being shuttled from one foster home to another, he finds himself in the custody of an ill-tempered aunt, an obese and miserable woman who seems to value the monthly check she receives from the state social services much more than she does the boy.Their lives become inextricably and fatally intertwined with two nameless drifters who roam the rural countryside looking for the boy whom they believe can link them to a heinous crime. Subsequently, as the story unfolds Jadie feels, and the reader knows, that one of the drifters is closing in on him and that an encounter is inevitable and destined. The boy must run. His flight leads to entanglements with a host of characters- an itinerant preacher, a deputy sheriff, a carnival owner, and others-each of whom he believes may be his salvation, but deliverance turns out to be elusive and illusionary.
Bad Creek is a story of alienation, desperation, and struggle as seen through the lives of what may be called the "invisible" people. Their poverty, corporeally as well as morally, is real and palpable. But it is also, alas, a story of hope and how this hope is embodied in the wits and will to survive in the seemingly insignificant life of a young boy.

Super wide
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Taupe
They are oddly very wide. Great for kids with wide chunky feet but for us it was not cute

Solid Kids Sandals, Overpriced Like Most Kids Shoes 🌞
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown
My son hasn’t worn these yet since it’s December in Indiana and sandals + snow obviously don’t mix. 😂 So this review is based on first impressions rather than long term wear.
That said, these seem wider than a lot of typical kids’ sandals, which I REALLY appreciate since we tend to have wider feet in our family. #hobbitfeet
The quality feels pretty decent overall. They’re described as lightweight, and while they’re not insanely lightweight, they do have enough weight to feel semi-sturdy and not flimsy or cheap. I like the style and color, and I think they’ll work well for my son once warmer weather hits.
My main complaint is the price. At just under $24 at the time of this review, it feels a little high for kids’ sandals and for what these are. I really feel like $20 MAX would make more sense. Kids shoes are almost always priced like adult shoes, even though they clearly use less material, and that’s hard for me to understand and wrap my mind around. Overall, these seem solid for daily wear, I just wish the price was a bit more reasonable and affordable.

Great basic and timeless design
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Brown
These sandals are a great find! They’re super easy to get on and off thanks to the Velcro straps, which is a huge win for little ones learning to be more independent. The fit is adjustable and secure, so they stay in place well during all kinds of play.
The cork-style footbed is comfortable and gives good support, and the overall design feels sturdy enough to handle everyday wear. They’re lightweight but still durable, and have held up really well so far.
They also have a classic, versatile look that goes with just about everything, perfect for summer outfits. Overall, a reliable, comfortable sandal that’s great for active kids. Would definitely buy again!
