PAWS: The Trouble With Leo

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. The girls of PAWS have a bone to pick with a group of rival (BOY! Ugh.) dog walkers . . . It's been seven whole dog years of PAWS (or just one if you're a human!), and the girls' business is at an all-time high! But after a run-in with Gabby's arch-nemesis, Leo, things take a turn - and Leo leaves the girls with a message: "You're not the only one who can walk dogs..." Sure enough, it's not long before the PAWS girls notice flyers advertising a new dog walking business, SCAMPS - and Leo is behind it! And when Gabby and Mindy take some not-so-righteous revenge on the boys, what was a little healthy competition turns into an all-out turf war . . . As the battle between the two groups escalates, with neither side is playing fair, the girls are forced to consider . . . just WHO is the real bad guy here . . . ? "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
