DEWEY
The small-town library cat who touched the world
Vicki Myron – Hodder & Stoughton - $39.99

In March 2007, in a hotly contested auction, the story of Dewey, a rescued cat who lived in a library in a small town in Iowa, stunned the book trade by fetching $1.25M.
A year later it was published by the successful bidder, Grand Central Publishing, (Hodder & Stoughton in UK/Aust/NZ), and it has been on the NY Times best-seller list ever since. And it is still at Number One this week!
Now it has been announced that a film version will feature Meryl Streep as the author.
Producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey at Temple Hill Entertainment partners will make the move with New Line. (The production company is also responsible for the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's Twlight.)

Dewey, the people of Spencer,Iowa cleverly named him, turned up in the night book return box at the local library where Vicki Myron lived. He was tiny and bedraggled and almost frozen to death. With the loving care and attention of Vicki and the library staff he survived and grew up to become a strutting, adorable library cat whose antics kept library users in stitches and as his fame grew people people came from across the US and eventually from around the world to meet him
When he died in November 2006 his obituary ran in over 250 publications including USA Today and The Washington Post.

Fabulous story, not just for cat lovers and librarians either, read it and feel very good about life
