Experience the uplifting, "unforgettable" New York Times bestseller about an abandoned kitten named Dewey, whose life in a library won over a farming town and the world -- with over 2 million copies sold! ( Booklist) Dewey''s story starts in the worst possible way. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state and finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history.

Hoeveel invloed kan een dier hebben? Hoeveel levens kan een kat veranderen? Hoe is het mogelijk dat een achtergelaten kitten een kleine bibliotheek in Iowa, en vandaar uit de hele wereld, op stelten zette? Dit is het bijzondere verhaal van Dewey, de bibliotheekkat. Zijn leven begon niet heel voorspoedig. Hij was pas een paar weken oud toen hij in een van de koudste nachten van het jaar werd achtergelaten in de inleverbak van de bibliotheek. De volgende ochtend vond Vicki Myron hem, meer dood dan levend, en zij verloor meteen haar hart. En zo zou het voortaan alle bezoekers van de bibliotheek vergaan: Deweys enthousiasme en speelsheid, maar vooral zijn zesde zintuig voor mensen die zijn liefde en aandacht het hardst nodig hadden, maakten van hem een wel heel onvergetelijke kat.
