"Cats, books, young love, and adventure: catnip for a variety of readers!"—Kirkus. "Bibliophiles will dote on this charming import from Japan, smoothly translated by Louise Heal Kawai." - Library Journal. From Japan's #1 bestselling author comes a celebration of books, cats, and their admirers, infused with the spirit of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles. High school student Rintaro Natsuki is on the verge of closing his grandfather's secondhand bookstore when a talking cat appears with an unusual request. The cat demands Rintaro's help to save neglected books. Together, they embark on a mission to liberate lonely, unread books from their owners. Their journey leads them through various mazes, encountering a man who neglects his books, a book torturer who mutilates pages for speed reading, and a publishing drone fixated on bestsellers. Their adventures culminate in a final, unforgettable challenge—a maze that tests Rintaro's courage. This enthralling tale of books, first love, fantasy, and an unusual friendship with a talking cat is for those who cherish books as more than just words on paper. Translated by Louise Heal Kawai. "Quirky and heartwarming, this story invites us to relish the joy of curling up with a favorite book." -- The Japan Times.
