The Cat Who Saved Books is a heart-warming story about finding courage, caring for others – and the tremendous power of books.
Grandpa used to say it all the time: 'books have tremendous power'. But what is that power really?
Natsuki Books was a tiny second-hand bookshop on the edge of town. Inside, towering shelves reached the ceiling, every one crammed full of wonderful books. Rintaro Natsuki loved this space that his grandfather had created. He spent many happy hours there, reading whatever he liked. It was the perfect refuge for a boy who tended to be something of a recluse.
After the death of his grandfather, Rintaro is devastated and alone. It seems he will have to close the shop. Then, a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and asks Rintaro for help. The cat needs a book lover to join him on a mission. This odd couple will go on three magical adventures to save books from people who have imprisoned, mistreated and betrayed them. Finally, there is one last rescue that Rintaro must attempt alone . . .
Sosuke Natsukawa's international bestseller, translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai, is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.

Een mooi boek, dat op een creatieve fantasierijke manier de liefde en het belang van boeken weer te vertellen. Het verhaal is officieel japans maar dit is allemaal zeer netjes vertaald in het engels.

De voorlezer vind ik niet prettig door de verschillende stemmetjes die hij opzet. Het verhaal is best leuk, en luistert snel weg.

Het verhaal vind ik mooi, maar het zogenaamd Britse accent van de kat is tenenkrommend.
