Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is an adventure children's book. It is the eighth book in The Inca Cat Detective series. The book was edited by Meanie Lopata and illustrated by Jorge Valle. This book follows the adventures of Inca and his friends on an epic adventure in Korea.
Inca is an amazing cat detective. His detective agency consists of his tabby brother, Fromage, his Siamese sister, Cara, a Russian cat, Monk, and a detective dog called Terrance. On Sunday Morning, the gang had gathered in the library to see an amazing painting of a Siberian tiger. Incra marvels at his feline cousin in the painting. He deduces that the painting must have come from South Korea. Inca overhears that mom has been selected to be one of the judges of the French patisserie competition organized by 'Le Cordon Bleu' to be held in South Korea. She plans to introduce her unique cheese at this event. She decides to take all her pets on this adventure. While on the plane to South Korea, mom runs into another French chef, Enzo. He has also been invited to be a judge. When the plane arrives at the airport, mom is missing her cheese bag.Terrance locates the missing bag in Enzo's possession. The group met their tour guide, Ye-Jun, and his dog, Baram. They learn that Ye-Jun has been separated from his sister, Ji, who lives in North Korea with her cat, Bo-Ming. Will Inca and his friends reunite Ye-Jun with his sister? Will they see more of Korea? Will mom launch her cheese successfully? Is Enzo planning something against mom? All these questions will be answered in this amazing book.
The book has many themes which have been used perfectly to narrate the story. The main theme I encountered was adventure. Inca and the detective agency had a recent adventure in Sri Lanka. They quickly find themselves in a new adventure in Korea. The agency foils Enzo at the airport and are eager to reunite Ye-Jun with his sister. Another major theme I encountered was love. Ye-Jun misses his sister and Baram also misses Bo-Ming. Inca loves his family and friends. I encountered themes like jealousy, fear, conflict, friendship and happiness. The author uses these themes masterfully to make the book more appealing to children.
The character development in this book was written perfectly. Inca is an excellent detective who pieces together the origin of the painting in the study. He is also a snoopy cat. He intentionally eavesdrops on mom and Solo making plans. The author also uses Enzo's character to be a unique antagonist in this book. Enzo tries to ruin mom by stealing her cheese bag. Ye-Jun was an excellent addition to this book. His character is used to highlight the conflict between South Korea and North Korea. The author used his characters to ensure the plot was captivating.
I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. This is because I found the plot captivating and highly addictive. I could not put the book down until I finished it. The book is one hundred and twenty pages long. This ensured that I read the entire book in one session. I did not encounter any spelling or grammatical errors. This led me to believe that the book was professionally edited. I did not find anything that I disliked about this book.
I would recommend this book to children. The plot and length of the book are perfect for a children's book. I loved the unique writing style employed by the author. This was an amazing addition to the author's books. I look forward to reading more of the author's works.
