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?

Wholly relatable, perfectly capturing the angst and turmoil of transition. Much like Ann M.

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 . . .

PAWS is an adorable graphic novel filled with bubbly, beautiful artwork, sharp writing, heart and humor. It’s the comic I wish I’d had when I was an animal-loving kid! * Faith Erin Hicks, New York Times bestseller and Eisner award-winning creator of the Nameless City series *
What’s a bigger, tougher balance of fun and responsibility than animals? Friends, maybe. And I was really rooting for the three girls from PAWS as they struggled to navigate both. I liked this book a lot! * Dana Simpson, New York Times bestselling creator of the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series *
