PAWS. 5, The trouble with Leo / [illustrated by] Michele Assarasakorn ; [written, colored, and lettered by] Nathan Fairbairn.
"After an unfortunate run-in with a boy from class, the PAWS girls find themselves locked in an escalating turf war with his competing dog walking business, SCAMPS"-- Provided by publisher.
In the fifth installment of the PAWS graphic novel series, a group of young pet-care entrepreneurs faces competition when a rival dog-walking business is established by a former acquaintance. As tensions escalate between the two groups, conflicts arise involving loyalty, ethics, and cooperation. The story also follows interpersonal developments as members of the opposing groups interact in other contexts, leading to a reassessment of assumptions and relationships. The narrative emphasizes teamwork, responsibility, and conflict resolution.
It's been seven whole dog years of PAWS (or just one if you're a human), and business is at an all-time high! But after a regrettable run-in with Gabby's arch-nemesis, Leo, things take an unfortunate turn. The two have an argument and Leo leaves the girls with an ominous message: "You're not the only one who can walk dogs..." It's not long before the girls notice flyers advertising a new dog walking business, SCAMPS. Sure enough, Leo and friends Brandon and Nolawi are behind it. And when Gabby and Mindy take some not-so-righteous retribution on these PAWS copycats, what could just be a little healthy competition turns into an all-out turf war. In the midst of it all, Mindy gets stuck doing a group project with Brandon, bringing her face to face with the enemy. But is it possible they have more in common than not? As the battle between the two groups escalates, and neither side is playing fair, the girls are forced to reconsider who the true villain of this story might really be.
