Vicki Myron follows up her #1 New York Times bestseller Dewey
with stories of cats who inspire their owners and includes two brand-new
Dewey stories! Dewey's Nine Lives offers nine funny, inspiring, and
heartwarming stories about cats--all told from the perspective of
Dewey's Mom, librarian Vicki Myron.
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World was a
blockbuster bestseller and a publishing phenomenon. It has sold nearly a
million copies, spawned three children's books, and will be the basis
for an upcoming movie. No doubt about it, 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. Now,
Dewey is back, with even more heartwarming moments and life lessons to
share.
The amazing felines in this book include Dewey, of course, whose further
never-before-told adventures are shared, and 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 troubled Vietnam 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.
