Author Sosuke Natsukawa’s first book in this series, “The Cat Who Saved Books,” created a sensation when it came out in 2021. Natsukawa recently released a sequel, “The Cat Who Saved The Library.”
Many sequels are stand-alone books that can be picked up without knowledge of the prior works. In this case, I recommend people start with the first book. Most readers will gain a much richer experience by diving into the world of Tiger the Cat from the beginning.
Saving the Written Word
Both novels feature a mystical orange feline named Tiger. He shows up in the lives of lonely children who love books and takes them on a strange adventure. Tiger’s first appearance in “The Cat Who Saved Books” is paired with a grieving, awkward, and withdrawn young man named Rintaro, who recently lost his grandfather, who was also his guardian.
