One of the best middle grade graphic novels I’ve read!
I might be biased, since it’s set where I live in Vancouver Canada- but I LOVE it!
Dogs, friendship, girls starting a business, family, responsibility, trust, telling the truth, communication, sports, committing to something…. The list goes on with all the great topics this graphic novel unpacks!
Amazing illustrations, great, diverse characters, and awesome story!
Now I need book TWO!

Absolutely wonderful! Basically a middle-grade graphic novel similar to Babysitter’s Club but with a focus on three young girls who start a dog walking business together. Wholesome, relatable, and a whole lot of fun.

Trent read this graphic novel, and as soon as he was done, he said I had to read it so we could talk about it; I am glad I did because this is a series that my middle school students are going to love as well. Gabby and her friends are starting a dog walking business, but it is hard enough to be a kid and a friend, much less run a business!

This was such a cute graphic novel! I loved reading about the girls and their friendship. Watching them grow and learn how to work together was really fun. I think a lot of younger people could learn a few things from reading this but it was also just a lot of fun to read. The artwork was really clean and the characters were adorable.

Yeah, if you like that book series and show about a club of babysitters, you'll probably dig this.
Focuses a lot on the interpersonal struggles of the group of friends, as well as the logistical challenges of actually doing something like this.
Full color graphic novel, apparently the first of a series.
I liked that this club had an involved parent, who happens to be a successful fantasy author.
Based on the author bios on the flap, Fairbairn "started writing PAWS, his middle grade debut, as a way to share his passion for comics and storytelling with his daughter." Which I read as implying that the story originated with him. So it's interesting to me that Assarasakorn is listed first on the cover and flap bios. I note that Fairbairn is the only one listed here. Interesting.
Might take it out to schools next round.
