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.

Intressant premiss, men tyvärr lite för tjatig och förutsägbar. Berättelsen hade lämpat sig bättre som ett lättsamt äventyrsspel där varje uppdrag är en ny bana.

Ett mysigt lugnt äventyr om böcker och en talande katt. Det var en väldigt mysig bok, perfekt att lyssna på medan man gosar upp med lite te. Inte häpnadsväckande men precis tillräckligt.

Japansk litteratur är alltid lite märklig. Talande katter... Berättelsen har en fin sensmoral men jag orkar inte lyssna färdigt.
