Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
There are some children’s books that shouldn’t be age-specific. Because there are children's books that you read as an adult, and you’re just bewildered by the storyline. Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is a page-turner.
After the introduction of Inca and her team, the book opens with a scene of Inca, Fromage, Cara, Charlotte, Monk, Missy, and others admiring a painting of a Siberian tiger in Solo’s library. The tiger is a relative of Inca. The book then gives a brief history of the population and migration of Siberian tigers. Inca’s mom, Missy, was selected to go to South Korea as one of the four judges for the French patisserie competition organized by "Le Cordon Bleu." Missy also tries to use this as an opportunity to present her special cheese, which she named "La Créme de la Créme." Solo and Terrance also accompanied them to South Korea. While en route to South Korea, they met Enzo, a French chef and one of the four judges. Enzo was a pretentious man and had always competed with Missy. He tried to sabotage them right from the moment they stepped into South Korea, but was stopped by Terrance and Fromage. Get a copy of this book to find out how the trip to South Korea goes.
I enjoyed every aspect of this book. What I love about every book in this series is that there's always an adventure. The trip to South Korea featured Inca and her team doing heroic things, making new friends, and enjoying Southern Korean culture. I love how every book always begins with an introduction to Inca and her team. This ensures that the book is read as a standalone novel. This book is the eighth book in The Inca Cat Detective Series. I love the selfless act of the team trying to help Ye-Jun reconnect with his sister, Ji despite the dangers that were involved.
There was absolutely nothing I disliked about this book. It has several positive themes. The concept of holding a competition between North and South Korea to promote peace sends a very positive message. It is something that most nations should emulate. This book will instill positive values in children. It will teach them to be selfless and, above all, to promote peace in every way. The book's storyline was compelling and captivating. It had the elements of suspense and surprise.
The book was professionally and exceptionally edited. I didn't come across any errors while reading it. The book was perfectly structured. The storyline also contained several thought-provoking themes. Therefore, I'm rating Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book to children between the ages of 4 and 13.
