Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
was a blockbuster bestseller and a publishing phenomenon.
It spent more than seven months on the New York Times
bestseller list, nearly the entire time in the top five.
It has sold nearly a million copies, spawned three
children's books, and will be the basis for a movie
starring Meryl Streep that is in the works. No doubt about
it, this is one beloved cat. But he's more than just a
bestselling franchise: Dewey has created a community.
Dewey touched readers everywhere, who realized that no
matter how difficult their lives might seem, or how
ordinary their talents, they can - and should - make a
positive difference to those around them.
Dewey's Nine Lives continues the formula that made Dewey
so successful: inspiring, funny, and heart-warming stories
about cats told from the perspective of 'Dewey's Mum,'
librarian Vicki Myron. The amazing felines in this book
include Dewey, of course, whose further never-before-told
adventures and amazing legacy are chronicled, but several
others who Vicki found out about when their owners reached
out to her. Vicki learned, through extensive interviews
and story sharing, what made these cats special, and how
they fit into Dewey's community of perseverance and love.
From a divorced mother in Alaska who saved a drowning
kitten on Christmas Eve to a post-traumatic stress-
disorder - suffering veteran whose heart was opened by his
long relationship with a rescued cat, these Dewey-style
stories will inspire readers to laugh, cry, care, and,
most importantly, believe in the magic of animals to touch
individual lives.
