Cats and bookstores seem to go together naturally. Inspired by the real-life feline resident of a small-town bookstore, this entertaining tale tells how Silas plays an important role in persuading one reluctant youngster that books can indeed be as interesting as soccer!

Warmly colored illustrations add just the right touch of humor to the story. The author is a writer, book reviewer, and former fellow bookstore employee with the real Silas.
