Following on from 'The Cat Who Saved Books', this story features some old favourite characters and newcomer Nanami, a lonely schoolgirl who loves books and notices that they are mysteriously disappearing from her library.
Much like the first book, 'The Cat Who Saved The Library' is broken up into 4 main chapters each with a form of quest, set by Tiger the talking cat, that Nanami has to win in order to bring balance back to her world. 
This is a story for book lovers, for those who love whimsical fantasy and those who love sassy talking cats. It's thought provoking, moving and a comforting read with just enough peril to keep you invested but ultimately retaining its cosy vibes. 

Thank you to Pan Macmillan | Picador and Netgalley for inviting me to read an eArc of "The Cat Who Saved the Library" in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.
