A scenario most parents will immediately recognise. At first glance, Hector's new birthday trainers look just like the real thing, but the vital football logo is missing and he's so disappointed. However, his 'yellow star' trainers soon become the thing thanks to skate-boarding school hero, Leroy, who first rescues Hector from a street corner gang and then turns up at his birthday party sporting - guess what? - a pair of trainers just like Hector's. A tale which pokes fun at the 'street-cred' culture, crocodile style.
