Praise for the PAWS 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
★ "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
"The story is refreshingly inclusive in its depiction of its
distinctive characters and their families, offering a reflection of
the world that many readers will find familiar. With expressive
faces and body language, the artwork poignantly emphasizes the ups
and downs of the girls' experiences. 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
"I love this story. Funny, aspirational, and heartfelt, I was
hooked from page one and enjoyed every wonderfully illustrated
panel!"—Kris Pearn, director and executive producer of The
Willoughbys
"A really beautiful and engaging story. The best thing I can say
about PAWS is that my daughter likes it better than anything I've
ever done, and I'm not arguing the point." —Karl Kerschl, Eisner
Award-winning creator
"[A] lively graphic novel. The characters feel bouncy and rounded.
Animal lovers, burgeoning entrepreneurs, and fans of friendship
