🐈Whimsical, magical, full of emotion.📚

Rintaro Natsuki lives with his grandfather who runs a little 2nd hand book shop. The shop is his safe space and he and his grandfather share a love of books and reading. When his grandfather passes, Rintaro is devastated. When a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears, he thinks he is going mad. Tiger however, needs his help to save books and takes Rintaro and his school friend Sayo on a magical adventure where he has to face 4 tests. 

It's a study of self discovery, coping with grief and examines why books are so special. 
If you loce books (and cats lol) you need to read this!
