The Cat Who Saved the Library: Curl up with the feel-good new book in the bestselling Japanese series

The instant Sunday Times bestseller

The must-have sequel to the bestselling The Cat Who Saved Books – an uplifting tale from Japan about a talking cat and the power of books to make a difference in the world.

Nanami Kosaki loves reading. The local library has become a home from home. Books are her friends. When Nanami notices that some of her favourite books are disappearing from the library shelves, she becomes suspicious of a man in a grey suit whose furtive behaviour doesn’t feel right.

Should she follow him to see what he’s up to? It wouldn’t be dangerous . . . would it?

When a smart-talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and issues a grave warning about how dangerous that would be, they decide to team up and investigate. Where have all the books gone? And can the unlikely duo overcome the challenges ahead?
