Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is the 8th book in the Inca Cat Detective Series. The book introduces us to Inca, the Siberian cat, her diverse family members, and her colleagues. Inca heads a detective agency alongside six other team members, three of whom are her siblings.

Inca’s human mom, Missy, is a culinary chef. She received an invitation from a French cookery school to be a judge in an upcoming cooking competition. She arranged for the entire family to join her on the trip to South Korea. For Inca and her siblings, this was an opportunity to explore. On arrival in South Korea, the family met with Mr. Ye-Jun, who was to be their tour guide and a translator for Missy.

Mr. Ye-Jun informed them of the divisions in Korea and the impact it had on all citizens, especially himself. Upon noticing how sad he was over his sister who lived in North Korea, Inca and her siblings put on their detective hats and devised a plan to unite Mr. Ye-Jun with his sister.

When introducing characters, the author, through Inca who narrates the story, describes the characters in detail. This allows the reader to imagine and visualize the characters being spoken about even before seeing them. I like this descriptiveness as it encourages visualization and stimulates children’s minds. I also liked the illustrations in this book. I found them to be age-appropriate and visually appealing.

As a children’s book, I found this book to be stimulating, visually enticing, and educational. Although Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is part of a series, the book is a good stand-alone read. You need not know or read other books to understand this one.

I found no spelling or grammatical errors in the book, and it was professionally edited. I recommend the book to younger children. I did not come across profanity or inappropriate content, and there was nothing I disliked about the book. For the fun and educational storyline, I award this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

They most certainly will. In fact, the entire Inca Book series is lovely.

Kristi never disappointed, in the Inca and Friends series, and she hasn't disappointed even now. Captivating
