[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
Inca and her family are in Asia this time with a new perilous mystery. For those who are reading Inca’s adventure for the first time, be ready to go through the whole “Inca Book Series.” Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is the eighth installment in the whole series. The book features the same characters entangled in a new case.
Inca, a Serbian kitty, whose aim was to become “a cat detective par excellence” is doing her dream job by solving gripping cases, along with her furry friends, who are also called “Inca and Company.” Inca and Company are traveling to Asia with their human mom, Missy, selected to be the judge of a food competition. The contest is aimed at cultivating peace between North and South Korea. Missy, Inca’s mom, is also going to showcase her new cheese at this contest, but a rival chef has malicious intentions to steal her cheese. On the other side, Inca and Company’s tour guide is to be reunited with her family. What else does the foreign country hold for Inca and Company? Will they be able to protect Missy’s cheese? How will the contest end up? Will they be able to reunite their tour guide’s family?
The delightful illustrations are by Jorge Vale. The last book I read in the series had black and white illustrations, but this book is engrossed with pretty and colorful imagery. The introductory pages of the book showcasing Inca’s family tree and her friends are the most charming.
The best thing about the book is that the author has woven the whole fiction around the reality of cold relations between North and South Korea. The children are going to learn something about international matters from the story. Another thing that I like is how the story focuses equally on Fromage, Inca’s cat brother, unlike the rest of the books where the spotlight was only Inca’s. To be honest, there is nothing I dislike about the book.
On the whole, I will rate this book a perfect 4 out of 4 stars read. The story-line of the book is admirable. The author has delivered some latent messages about family-love, peace-building, teamwork, friendship, and support through her writing. The author’s love for cats is also evident from her perfectly executed story.
This is a children’s book without any profanity. The book is well-edited. There were no noticeable typos or errors. I will recommend this book to children aging between 6 and 12. Readers who enjoy reading animal adventures must read this book. Moreover, detective fiction loving people can also give this book a try.
