Serendipity Mystery by R.F. Kristi is the seventh book in the Diary of a Snoopy Cat series. Despite being a book in a series, it can also be a standalone book. The target audience are kids between the ages of 6 and 14.

Inca, the Siberian kitty, is an advanced detective whose specialty is to investigate, examine, and uncover crimes and mysteries. Inca is famous for her relentless pursuit of order and discovering culprits. Inca is an intelligent detective who recruits a team of talented agents, and together, they investigate crimes and unveil the real perpetrators.

While on vacation in Sri Lanka, Inca confronts a robbery case in a local museum. A historical artifact mysteriously goes missing, and nobody can give an account of the event or claims to have seen the criminals. While the neighborhood experiences shock and chaos, Inca investigates the sudden disappearance of this ancient treasure.

Kristi is an expert in communicating with children. Kristi is also the type of writer that identifies her audience right from the moment she starts writing a book until she finishes it. Kristi captivates her audience with the use of promising characters. Kristi is a legendary writer and editor. Kristi uses her book series to motivate kids to be resourceful and efficient. Kristi also portrays intelligence and perseverance in this lovely story.

Inca showed children how to become community heroes. I liked that Inca displayed the attributes of a role model. I liked that Inca represented passion, eagerness, and tenacity. I liked that Inca paused her vacation to attend to a more pressing issue. Kristi’s writing style was grand; the book had colorful pages as well as easy-to-understand sentences.

Serendipity Mystery by R.F. Kristi was an exceptionally well-edited book. There were no grammar errors or typos found. The flawless editing, as well as the comprehensive nature of the book, has prompted me to rate it four out of four stars. There was nothing I disliked about the book.

I recommend this book to kids within the age bracket mentioned in the first paragraph. I don't think adults will find the characters in this book appealing. If you're looking for romance or horror stories, this book is not for you.

This is a decent childrens book. The only misgiving I found was that it had some difficult words which might be hard for children to digest. Anyways, thanks for a delightful review, Rashida!

I have seen other parts of this series and it seems there is consistency in the output by the author. It is nice, exciting and everything kids love to read. Plus there are good morals for them to grab as well. Well done on a lovely review too

A children’s book with so many great values to teach. The protagonist indeed sounds like a rode model. Great review!

Despite my age, I still enjoy kiddie stories. Inca is one of my favorite sleuths, my Nancy Meow.

I agree with you, Rashida. The author is an expert in communicating with children. I've had my fair share of awkwardness with those cute boys and girls hahaha...

Among all the reviews I've seen for this book, I think yours is the most suitable for the target audience. Thanks for your review, Rashida.

I love flawlessly edited children's stories! This one sounds interesting with great themes. I definitely want to read it myself, and I'm not a child.

I've read and reviewed this book, and similar to you, I gave it a perfect rating. I also love how Kristi made Inca looks as if she is a role model. I believe this will appeal most to parents of children since they would want their kids to be influenced by the right characters.
