The After-School Kindness Crew: Pooch on the Loose #1 cover

When classmates Tony, Mia, and River find themselves together in Ms. Gold's classroom, a friendship quickly forms and leads them to creating the After-School Kindness Crew. Join the trio as they bring joy to those around them, with laughs, adventures, and brain breaks along the way. This first book in the series introduces the origins of the After-School Kindness Crew, starting with a Surprise Us Day in their class, which leads to more surprises than anyone expects! From an escaped snake to a rowdy dog let loose from his cage to disguises slipped on to save the day, the hijinks and humour continue from start to finish! Read along to get to know the crew and learn how a sweet dog in need of adoption helps bring them all together.

Praise for The After-School Kindness Crew series:

"Earnest, lighthearted, and fun." Kirkus Reviews

"Hawn’s foray into children’s stories alongside accomplished author Oliver is the beginning of a solid new series for young chapter book readers. (...) A strong purchase for all elementary collections." —School Library Journal

"Full of action and packed with unexpected humor. (Strawberry jam artwork? Snake escape? Remote-control car stuck in reverse?) Pooch on the Loose is witty and fun, but its three heroes are serious about their quest to think 'kind' and act 'kind.'” —Steve Moore, animated film creator, cartoonist, children’s book author and illustrator
