Summary

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 8+ fans of Rollergirl and Lottie Brooks.

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. Martin’s 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.
