The Cat Who Saved the Library

The highly anticipated sequel to Sosuke Natsukawa's The Cat Who Saved Books an uplifting tale from Japan about a talking cat, a book-loving girl and the power of books to make a difference in the world.

Nanami sees nothing wrong with a library and cat combination. But a talking cat is a whole other story.

Thirteen-year-old Nanami Kosaki loves reading. The local library is a home from home and books have become her best friends. When Nanami notices books disappearing from the library shelves, shes particularly curious about a suspicious man in a grey suit whose furtive behaviour doesnt feel right. Should she follow him to see what hes up to?

When a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears to warn her about how dangerous that would be, together theyre brave enough to follow the frightening trail to find out where all the books have gone. Will Nanami and Tiger overcome the challenges of the adventure ahead?

Warm, wonderful and wise, The Cat Who Saved the Library is also a powerful lesson never to underestimate the value of great literature, and a reminder always to think for ourselves, no matter what our charismatic leaders might say.
