Inhaltsangabe

The instant Sunday Times bestseller.

The must-have sequel to Sosuke Natsukawa's 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?

Translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai
