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.

The Cat Who Saved Books is a heart-warming story about finding courage, caring for others – and the tremendous power of books. 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.

Kitapları Kurtaran Kedi, biz neden kitap okuruz sorusunun cevabını fantastik bir dünya üzerinden ele alarak anlatıyor. Kitapları gösteriş için okumak, kitap okumayı vakit kaybı olarak görüp özet peşinde koşmak ve yayınevlerinin zarar elde etmemek için kolay anlaşılabilir kitapları satmasını eleştiren bu kitap, kitap okurken eğlenmeyi bize öğretiyor.

Review of 'The Cat Who Saved Books' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
At times I felt this was verging on book snobbery. If people want to collect books as objects, speed read or publish books that make money (so that more books can be published!), that's all good. Making a kid read A Thousand Years of Solitude when they are struggling with it seems like a way to kill off a love of reading if you ask me. Towards the end it all felt like very mixed messaging. Should books evolve to survive or should we be just clinging on to the books of the past? I guess it would be a good book club discussion!
