Sara Cox, BBC Radio 2 Book Club
Such a fun, joyous read and purrfect for animal lovers. I adored it.
Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear
The perfect book for every child who's ever begged for a pet. Charming, warm and emotionally real, with untrained puppies and annoying older sisters making Pia's life a non-stop chaos parade!

A parcel of puppy-packed perfection!

One of my favourites... illustrated wonderfully by Emma McCann

Abiola Bello, author of Wild Magic

Swapna Haddow, author of Dave Pigeon
<i>Pia's Pet Club </i>is a parcel of puppy-packed perfection! I absolutely loved meeting Pia, her family and her friends both human and animal. I wouldn't want to stop reading even if someone shouted 'bananas!' When I was young I wanted to be a vet and I just wish I'd had this wonderful book to read back then.
Chris Smith, co-author of the KID NORMAL series
<i>Pia's Pet Club</i> has everything I love in a book: dogs, a random fact about pigeons and heaps of heart. Serena's characters are always ones I wished I was best pals with at school and Emma's illustrations are brilliant and hilarious. This is a book that showcases a positive representation of a beautiful South Asian co-parented family - a voice massively lacking from our bookshelves. <i>Pia's Pet Club </i>is perfect for pet-loving young readers who are looking for lots of laughs, some doggy mayhem and a bit of sibling rivalry.
