Natsukawa Sosuke. The Cat Who Saved Books: A Story / trans. from English. N. Valevska.; ill. M. Mykytiuk. – Kyiv: Nash Format, 2024. – 176 p.: ill.

“Books have enormous power,” my grandfather used to say. But what kind of power is this? High school student Rintaro didn’t know that. And there was no one left to ask: his grandfather had passed away, leaving behind a good memory and a second-hand bookstore... Rintaro loves books very much – they are like family and friends to him, but isn't keeping an unprofitable shop just a waste of life? Circumstances push him to sell the bookstore, but the talking cat Tiger gets in the way. Together, he and Rintaro set off into a magical labyrinth, where they complete missions to save books.

This is a touching story about the power of reading, book worlds, love, values, finding one's identity and newfound courage.
