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?
"It's fantastic, it's cute, it's drawn and colored gorgeously, and I think it's going to win a lot of fans. PAWS is here to stay!" - Bryan Lee O'Malley, #1 New York Times bestseller and Eisner award-winning creator of the Scott Pilgrim series
""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." - School Library Journal, starred review
Rezensionen / Stimmen
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. * School Library Journal, starred review * Wholly relatable, perfectly capturing the angst and turmoil of transition. Much like Ann M. Martin's 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 * It's fantastic, it's cute, it's drawn and colored gorgeously, and I think it's going to win a lot of fans. PAWS is here to stay! * Bryan Lee O'Malley, #1 New York Times bestseller and Eisner award-winning creator of the Scott Pilgrim series * 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 * "PAWS is full of humor, personality, and wonderful characters. I couldn't put it down. You'll have a barking good time reading PAWS! * Johnnie Christmas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Swim Team *
