Description

An adorable graphic novel series about best friends, cute dogs, and all the fun (and trouble) that comes with them. This funny and heartwarming series is the Baby-Sitters Club for pets, and perfect for readers aged 8+ Meet best friends Gabby, Priya, and Mindy. They're different in just about every way, but they have a few important things in common- they're in the same class, they absolutely love animals, and for various super-sad and unfair reasons, none of them can own any pets. Sob! But, as luck would have it, it seems their neighborhood is in need of some afterschool dog-walkers. So, just like that, PAWS is born! However . . . it turns out running a business is harder than it looks, especially when their adorable pup clients all have such different needs - and the girls can't agree on how best to help them. When the girls' fighting leads to a doggo crisis, their friendship threatens to tear apart - can they get it together, and save the day

Reviews

Reminiscent of Ann M. Martins The Baby-Sitters Club, this series starter will be a surefire hit with Raina Telgemeier fans and any reader seeking a solid friendship story. Laugh-out-loud funny and full of heart. * School Library Journal, starred review *
Wholly relatable, perfectly capturing the angst and turmoil of transition. Much like Ann M. Martins Baby Sitters Club, this series is poised to feature a different PAWS member in each volume; expect appeal to be similarly high. An honest, heartwarming look at friendship. * Kirkus Reviews, starred review *
Refreshingly inclusive in its depiction of its distinctive characters and their families, offering a reflection of the world that many readers will find familiar . . . This truly heartwarming story about friendship (and lots and lots of dogs) is a great choice for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Shannon Hale. * Booklist *
