Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
Posted: 08 Sep 2022, 11:34
[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
Inca, the famous Siberian cat, heads a detective agency whose fame has spread through London, and the rest of England, and has even reached France. Inca is snoopy by nature and loves new adventures. Excitingly, a new adventure is now in store for her. Missy, Inca's humanoid owner, is invited to judge a cooking contest in South Korea. Missy will also be showcasing her famous cheese there. Naturally, she would be taking Inca along. But danger awaits the furry detective agency. Inca and her furry friends would be taking up a huge responsibility of uniting a family divided between North and South Korea. In her book Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula: Diary of a Snoopy Cat, author R. F. Kristi brings to her readers a lot of entertainment, suspense, yummy cheese, a sabotage plan, and Inca’s daredevilry.
I loved everything about this book. Kristi has done an amazing job at bringing personality to all of the furry animals in this book. The premise of the book is extremely interesting. Most of the action happens in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). It would be an informative read for older kids. The author has handled the political tension between North and South Korea with the delicacy and sensitivity the topic deserves.
The illustrations in the book are colourful and fun. The pace of narration is perfect. There are a lot of funny episodes and there are also some spooky moments. It is kind of hard to define an age group perfect for this book. The content, especially the DMZ part, seems suitable for older kids. But the overall feel and language of the book are more suitable for kids between ages six and ten.
I had no complaints about the book. It is professionally edited. I did not come across any grammatical errors. I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.
There are several lovable characters in this book. Apart from Inca, I loved Fromage, and the dog, Terrance. The furry friends Inca meets in South Korea were just as adorable. Cat lovers, irrespective of age, would love this book. As I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to assign an age group to this book. But I recommend the book to children between ages seven and twelve. It would be ideal if parents read the book with their kids. This would help children with understanding the basic geo-political conflict in Korea, the diversity, sensitivity, and the reason for having the DMZ.
