Description from Goodreads
The highly anticipated sequel to Sosuke Natsukawa's The Cat Who Saved Books – an uplifting tale from Japan about a talking cat, a book-loving girl and the power of books to make a difference in the world.
Nanami sees nothing wrong with a library and cat combination. But a talking cat is a whole other story.
Thirteen-year-old Nanami Kosaki loves reading. The local library is a home from home and books have become her best friends. When Nanami notices books disappearing from the library shelves, she’s particularly curious about a 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?
Warm, wonderful and wise, The Cat Who Saved the Library is 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.
My Thoughts on the Book
As I've already read The Cat Who Saved Books, I obviously had to read this one too and it didn't disappoint. The Cat Who Saved the Library is about the importance of thinking for ourselves, book banning (and burning), and read books. If I remember correctly, I also think this one is a bit more action-packed than the first one.
While The Cat Who Saved the Library might feel a bit juvenile for some (the main character is fairly young after all), the book still holds a message or two for all of us, no matter the age.
