'Paws is a thoughtful, and well-crafted book which deals with friendship and hope. Alex is a wonderfully caring character.' 
- Maisie Chan

*****
'This was a charming read I thoroughly enjoyed. I think any young reader will relate to Alex as he navigates school, dreams and forming friendships with the fun of a dog show thrown in! Honest, touching and real ... a hug of a book.' 
- Gina Blaxill

*****
'This is a book about friendship and it's ADORABLE. It's gentle & heart warming and – thankfully, because it's impossible not to care – has the perfect feel good ending'

​- Wendy Orr

“Warm and heartfelt, PAWS is a tender story of friendship that is both honest and uplifting. Readers will be cheering for Alex in the final pages and pestering their parents for a dog like Kevin. An impressive debut.”

Everything is changing for 11-year-old Alex and, as an autistic person, change can be terrifying. With the first day of high school only a couple of months away, Alex is sure that having a friend by his side will help. So, he’s devised a plan – impress the kids at school by winning a trophy at the PAWS Dog Show with his trusty sidekick, Kevin. This should be a walk in the park . . . right?
