Every Saturday, Pawcasso trots into town with a basket, a shopping list and cash in paw to buy groceries for his family. One day, he passes by Jo’s house, where she’s peering out the window, bored and lonely.
When Jo sets out to follow him, a group of kids from school mistake her for Pawcasso’s owner and, excited to make new friends, she reluctantly hides the truth. But what starts as a Chihuahua-sized lie quickly grows into a Great Dane-sized problem when Pawcasso gets his own internet fan club… Trapped in a web of lies, will Jo risk her new friendships by telling the truth?
Remy Lai is the award-winning author of Pie in the Sky, Fly on the Wall, and now Pawcasso. She was born in Indonesia, and currently lives in Brisbane, where she writes and draws stories for kids with her two dogs by her side – so it’s no wonder why this dog-adoring story is so captivating.
Pawcasso is a delightful graphic novel about friendship and belonging, starring the world’s most adorable dog. I’ll be honest, I typically classify myself as a cat person, but after reading this, I want a Pawcasso of my own.
Due to Lai’s vibrant illustrations and the ease of her storytelling, I read this graphic novel in one sitting! I know how unique the bond between humans and their pets can be, and it was a pleasure to be let into Jo and Pawcasso’s heartfelt world.
Pawcasso is a heartwarming and hilarious story about an unexpected friendship between the loneliest girl in class and the coolest canine in town. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier, I recommend it for readers aged 8+. If you’re an animal lover, a fan of graphic novels or just love a great page-turner, then Pawcasso is the book for you. Get ready for your heartstrings to be tugged at!
