Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a children’s illustrated novel written by R.F. Kristi. It is the eighth instalment of The Inca Cat Detective series. It follows Inca, a Siberian cat, who lives with his sister, Cara, his brother, Fromage, their hamster, Charlotte, and his human mom, Missy. He has other animal companions- his neighbour Solo’s dog, Terrance, and his cat, Monk. They live in London where Missy runs a cheese shop. Inca runs a detective agency with his friends.
Missy gets a chance to be a judge for a baking competition that’s going to take place in the Korean Peninsula. The competition is a part of the peace initiative between North Korea and South Korea and is going to be held at the border between the two rival countries. Missy is also going to introduce her new cheese to the world in that competition. She decides to take Solo and their furry friends with her. A lot of new adventures await Inca and his friends in the Korean Peninsula. With someone who wants to sabotage Missy’s cheese premiere, a mysterious cat away from his home, and a brother and sister separated- Inca and his friends have a lot on their paws on this trip.
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is funny and interesting. It is told from the protagonist, Inca’s perspective. Inca is smart and sassy. His musings on the things that happen around him are very funny. The unique traits of Inca and his friends bring richness to the story. Although the book is part of a series, it could also be read as a standalone. A family tree is given at the start of the book, explaining the relationship between all the characters, so new readers can jump into the story right away.
I like how the book is funny and informative at the same time. The book gives an introduction to young readers about new countries like North Korea and South Korea and the relationship between them. The book is written in simple language so young readers can easily understand it. Very young readers may need some help to understand a few tough words. The illustrations are beautiful and engaging.
There is nothing I disliked about this book. There is no profanity or violence. I found only one error in the whole book. It seems to be professionally edited.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it is funny, interesting and well edited. I recommend this book to readers aged between five and fourteen. I also recommend it to young readers who like cozy mysteries.
