A cooking tournament will take place in South Korea, and Inca and her investigative team will be there. The goal of this contest was to bring North and South Korea back together. Missy has been chosen to serve as one of the competition's judges. Missy is Inca's mother and a cheese maker in Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi. 

The leader of a detective team is named Inca. She is a Siberian cat, specifically. She has her team members, with whom they all work together as detectives. Her squad consists of Solo, Fromage, Cara, and others. We are also introduced to Solo in the book. The home where Missy, Inca, and her family are staying is owned by Solo. Missy had just notified Solo that she had been selected to serve as a judge for the South Korean cooking contest. Another piece of good news for them is that Missy will debut her new cheese during the competition. They learned that Missy's cheese, which she planned to introduce at the competition, has vanished, ruining a day that was supposed to be a happy one for them. Could any of the team members tell us where the cheese is? Will Inca's detective team be able to track down Missy's cheese? When you read this book, the answers to these questions will become clear. 

There is no denying that reading this book was great. The book was enjoyable to read, and I finished it without putting it down. I must admit that I first liked the names of the animals. I liked the way the names sounded—they were cool. I appreciate that Missy, a human mother, was mentioned with the animals by the author. It gave the book a new, distinctive form that set it apart from other animal books I've encountered. The teamwork and collaboration among Inca's squad is another feature of the book that I liked. For readers of all ages, this alone provides another lesson. Since they are still young and may easily copy the positive behaviors, youngsters in particular will learn a lot from this. 

There is not a single bad thing to say about this book. With this book, there was never a dull moment. In contrast to several other animal books, I liked that there was not a single instance of profanity in this one. How the author included vivid visuals in the book was another feature of it that I liked. As an adult reader, I found this appealing, and I have no doubt that kids will find it even more appealing. I salute the writer for doing this. 

While reading this book, I did not find any errors. This demonstrates that the book had been exceptionally edited. Therefore, I will give this book a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

Although this is a children's book, I really enjoyed it and think other adults will too. Therefore, I recommend the book to anyone who likes to read tales about animals.
