Another total WIN!
Absolutely adore this series.
I love it because it’s kid-friendly & wholesome, it tackles some real-life issues, and the resolutions are always so great & teach a good lesson.
Loveeeeeee these characters- they’re all diverse in their backgrounds, their faiths, their abilities, their talents, their likes & dislikes, etc etc etc. but yet they’ve bonded together as friends, and stick together through some tough situations.

A few big mentions-
Character in a wheelchair & her friends advocate for accessibility (during a snow storm, when sidewalks aren’t cleared for those who need it)
Character who is evicted because the landlords want to raise the rent, and need to find a new home.
Discussions about immigrant families coming here with a degree as a doctor, but needs to work in a variety of jobs before his credentials are recognized.
The land acknowledgment spoken at an assembly, recognizing the Indigenous lands the school resides on.

ALL done in such an authentic way, and providing opportunities for readers to learn & spark conversations.

Also. Just a great story.

Can you tell I love this series!?

This series just doesn't miss!

It always delivers on lovable characters, doggies, and artwork. Priya learns the lesson of knowing when to advocate for yourself. In the background, one of the PAWS girls gets obsessed with social media.

For me, this is becoming this generation's Babysitter's Club with the group expanding.
