1000 tulosta hakusanalla Vicki Myron
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.

Historien om hvordan en liten katt forandret et bibliotek totalt, reddet en vanlig amerikansk småby og til slutt ble verdensberømt.Deweys historie begynner en bitende kald natt da noen dytter den få uker gamle kattungen ned i kassen for returbøker på biblioteket i Spencer. Der ble han funnet neste morgen av biblioteksjefen, Vicki Myron, en alenemor som hadde overlevd tapet av familiegården, brystkreft og en alkoholisert ektemann. Dewey sjarmerte henne og resten av staben i senk ved å stable seg på bena og stavre på forfrosne poter bort til hver enkelt og dytte forsiktig til dem som takk for hjelpen.I løpet av de neste nitten årene sluttet han aldri å sjarmere hele Spencers befolkning med sin entusiasme og vennlighet - og ikke minst hans sjette sans når det gjaldt hvem som til enhver tid trengte ham mest.
