One of the judges for the next Le Cordon Bleu French patisserie competition in South Korea will be Missy, Inca's human mom. Missy made the decision to bring her furry children—Inca the Siberian cat, Fromage, Cara, and Charlotte the hamster—along with her on her journey. Then, Missy's neighbor Solo and his dog Terrance joined her and her kitties. In South Korea, Missy will use this platform to promote her new cheese. But, things don't go as planned because the new cheese was stolen by Enzo, Missy's rival and a French chef who was also chosen to serve as a judge at the tournament.

Ye-Jun, the tour guide Missy and her family hired while in South Korea, has a dog named Baram. Baram had been separated from her cat friend Bo-Mi, who lives in North Korea with Ye-Jun's sister, Ji. Inca and her detective compadres took on the case of finding Mom's cheese and reuniting Baram with her friend Bo-Mi. How will the team circumvent North Korean security to meet with Bo-Mi? Will the team be able to succeed? To learn more, read Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by Author R.F. Kristi.

From Inca's perspective, this book was well written. The author's writing style is extremely detailed, capturing the scenery and emotions of the character. Kristi's writing style is so detailed that readers will have no trouble conjuring up vivid mental images of the scenes in the book. The provision of illustrations of Inca, her detective friends, the scenery, and other characters aid in the reader's imagination. The book was written in modern English, which makes it very easy for children to understand. Each character in this book was very authentic, and they all played different roles that enriched the plot. I love that there weren't any characters in this book who were redundant.

Because there are so many lessons and nuggets of knowledge contained within this book, I will classify it as instructional. Brief histories of certain fauna are included in this book, as well as a description of the Korean peninsula. Determination, perseverance, and teamwork are some of the topics that this novel explores. By practicing the attributes displayed by Inca and her fellow detectives, younger readers will be able to develop the habits of cooperation and tenacity. The formation of their mission had been influenced by their appreciation for and understanding of each other.

Generally, there was nothing objectionable about this book. I enjoyed reading this book from start to finish.

Furthermore, I'll say that this book was professionally edited because I found a few grammatical errors in this book. Thus, I rate Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula, 4 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to both older and younger readers because this book is educational and has a lot of morals embedded in each chapter.

I love the Inca book series, which is one of my favorites kids book to read. I love the qualities that each of the characters possess. Younger readers can emulate these good qualities.
