[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
Have you ever read a captivating children's book? If not, then come along with me as I read about Inca and her family and friends on their exciting adventure trip to South Korea!
Inca, a Siberian cat who runs a renowned detective agency, and his team are ecstatic as they travel to South Korea. Missy, Inca's humanoid owner, has been chosen as one of four global judges for a significant cooking competition at the Peace House. Missy is overjoyed to be presenting her unique cheese to an international audience, but things go wrong when her bag containing the cheese goes missing at Incheon Airport. As Inca and her team travel to South Korea, they are faced with more cases to solve. The Korean Demilitarized Zone prevents Ye-Jun's sister Ji and her cat Bo-Mi from leaving North Korea; thus, Ye-Jun and his dog Baram miss them while they are stuck in North Korea. Inca and her team members are committed to finding a solution to enable Ye-Jun and Baram to rejoin their cherished Ji and Bo-Mi. Will they be able to handle these challenges?
A fascinating children's book containing tension, suspense, mystery, and adventure is Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi. The bright and charming images that are part of the book will easily grab children's attention. Children are more likely to identify with Inca's character and become immersed in the narrative because the story is also recounted from Inca's first-person perspective in an entertaining diary format.
I should also mention how amusing and realistic the characters were. I frequently found myself laughing out loud at Fromage, Inca's brother, while reading the book, but Inca's character eventually won me over. She came across as a sweet, sassy, and snoopy cat who was proud of herself and her team. But what I liked best about Inca was how she faced adversity with resilience and a positive attitude. The book also impressed me with its high level of education. Through this story, children will learn about Korean culture and the significance of the Korean Demilitarized Zone, a strip of territory separating North and South Korea, as well as the value of friendship, family, and collaboration.
There were just a few illustrations at the end of the book, which was the one thing that disappointed me. When the story reached its climax, which was the most thrilling part of the story, I would have preferred to see more illustrations. But since it was a relatively minor issue and it didn't stop me from enjoying the story, I didn't feel the need to reduce my rating. I'm happy to rate this book five out of five stars as a result of its entertaining characters, vibrant visuals, and thrilling story.
I found no faults in the book, proving that it had excellent editing. Kids between the ages of 8 and 12 who enjoy reading should pick up this book. Anyone with an interest in Korean history and culture will undoubtedly find this children's book to be both entertaining and educational.
