Thirteen-year-old Nanami Kosaki loves reading. With ill health forcing her to spend a lot of time indoors, the local library she has been visiting ever since she was a little girl is a home from home and books have become her best friends. When Nanami notices lots of books disappearing from the library shelves, she's particularly curious about the suspicious man in a grey suit whose furtive behaviour doesn't feel right. Should she follow him to see what he's up to?
When a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears to warn her about how dangerous that would be, together they're 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?
The Cat Who Saved the Library is the second novel in the bestselling The Cat Who . . . series by Sosuke Natsukawa. A tale that's warm, wonderful and wise, it's 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.
