If you love dogs of all kinds, the idea of a basket-toting dog that does his own shopping, and a story of a young girl who befriends said dog and accidentally lets a small lie spiral out of control, then I think you are going to love Pawcasso by Remy Lai.
Pawcasso is a basket-toting dog who does his family’s grocery shopping on his own. When 11-year-old Jo is mistaken as his owner by a group of kids, she goes along with the lie in the hopes of making new friends. Soon the town becomes divided over whether Pawcasso should be allowed to roam free, and Jo worries that her lies will be exposed—and endanger Pawcasso and her new friendships.
I received a digital advanced readers copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
If you have followed me for awhile, then you will know that I love everything that Remy Lai has written. From her tender and hilarious story about cakes and grief to her fun and poignant story about family and flying, Remy’s stories are undeniably full of heart and humour. I’m delighted to share that Remy’s latest book, Pawcasso, her new middle-grade graphic novel, is no exception!
