The Cat Who Saved the Library

An exquisite hardcover edition with unique sprayed edges is set to grace readers with the much-awaited follow-up to Sosuke Natsukawa's beloved novel, The Cat Who Saved Books. This Japanese story follows a charming feline, an avid reader, and the profound influence books can wield on the world. Thirteen-year-old Nanami Kosaki cherishes her time at the local library, where books are her constant companions. Her life takes a turn when books mysteriously start vanishing from the shelves. Skeptical about a strange man in a grey suit with sneaky tendencies, Nanami wonders if she should investigate further. Her inquiries are met by a talking cat named Tiger, who cautions her against diving into what might be a perilous mission. Yet, with Tiger by her side, Nanami embarks on a daring quest to uncover the fate of the missing books. Their journey is a testament to the strength and courage needed to confront challenges and highlights the irreplaceable value of literature. The Cat Who Saved the Library is not just a delightful read; it also serves as a poignant reminder of the necessity for independent thinking, irrespective of what influential figures may suggest. This edition has been thoughtfully translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai.
