THE CAT WHO SAVED BOOKS by Sosuke Natsukawa, the charming inspirational novel about books, booksellers, bookshops - and Tiger the Talking Cat - that editors everywhere are falling in love with.It's a magical story of a talking cat who helps a teenage boy 'liberate' books from modern people after they have lost interest in reading, a novel for readers who love books deeply and don’t want them to disappear. It's for readers who enjoyed The Little Prince, Firmin and The Neverending Story, and a very special gift for booksellers with strong commercial potential, too.High school student Rintaro inherits his late grandfather's second-hand bookstore, Natsuki Bookstore, which is about to close forever. One day, Tiger the talking cat appears and convinces Rintaro to accompany him on a quest to 'save books from disappearing'. A beautiful friendship begins as they go on a magical adventure that takes them through four different mazes, facing four different challenges. Is it better to read more books rather than read a single book over and over again, in order to keep up with the world filled with information? Is it better to skim through the famous classics to "know" what the book is about, rather than taking the time to read and understand them? Are the trashy bestselling books better than the classics that no one reads, in order to earn more money?
