Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is an intriguing book that involves mystery and adventure. The story revolves around the adventures of an intelligent cat, Inca, and her feline friends. When Inca's human mother, Mom, receives an invitation to be a guest judge in a competition in South Korea, Inca eavesdrops and becomes excited when she learns that they all might be going on a trip to South Korea. Mom also plans to use that medium to unveil her special French cheese, which she made herself. However, when they get to South Korea, they learn a sad story about their tour guide, Ye-Jun.
Inca, along with her feline friends, make it their core mission to help him solve his issue and make him happy again. They encounter many obstacles while trying to accomplish their mission, but will they come out victorious?
 
I like the author's idea of creating a fictional competition in the book that gears towards encouraging harmony between North Korea and South Korea. She even made it more realistic by having it sponsored by the United Nations. At some point, I began to wish it were all real due to the enmity that exists between those two countries in reality, and I must commend R.F. Kristi, the author, for that.
 
It is no surprise that I have nothing negative to say about this book. I must commend how the author embedded different moral lessons in this book for children (and even adults) to learn from. The book teaches about the importance of maintaining excellent amity amongst ourselves.

I found just a repetitive error in the book; however, this does not detract from its excellence, as I still feel it was professionally edited. This makes the book deserving of a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I mean, this is a book that teaches the reader about the culture and history of countries like North Korea and South Korea.
 
Although it seems like a children's book, I would recommend Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula to young adults. Generally, it will resonate well with lovers of adventure and mystery books.

Well done for this review. I have read this book and I must say I admire Inca and his sense of duty to assist Ye-Jun retrieve his family dog so his sister won't have to go back to the other side.

It's really amazing how people write about animals. I'm not a fan of animals or books about them but from this review, I think I like this one. I like that it teaches good morals and I hope to read too. Nice review.

This children's book seems generally interesting. The conflict in the plot is immersive, as it has suspense. The featuring of animals as major characters make the book thrilling. Thanks for the recommendation.

It's incredible how Inca and her friends were not deterred by obstacles while trying to solve mysteries.
I'm glad you pointed out the author's ability to encourage harmony between the North and South Korea.
Great review.

What if Inca was human? It sounds incredible to know Inca is a cat! And I wish to know if Inca and friends were successful in accomplishing their mission. I'm looking forward to reading this book and this is a great review.

I loved this book! I especially liked that it took place on the Korean Peninsula and helped explain the division of the north and the south to the reader! It was such a cute story of family and friendship too. Awesome review!

I loved reading about Inca and her detective company, it didn't feel like it just a children's book because I got to learn about the DMZ. This is a nice review.
