It is crucial that children should learn good values and characters. Theirs is the age of development of habits, and our job is to make sure they imbibe the good ones. R.F. Kristi has contributed enormously to that responsibility by writing the Inca Book Series. Serendipity Mystery: Diary of a Snoopy Cat is the seventh book in the series. I haven't read any other book in the series, but I still enjoyed the book.

This book is narrated by Inca—a Siberian detective cat. She had established Inca & Company to solve crimes with her siblings and friends—cats, dogs, and a hamster. Their mom (the human owner) takes them on a holiday to Sri Lanka. As they are enjoying the pleasant weather on the beach, a crime transpires. Some valuables are stolen from a museum. Does Inca abandon her pleasant vacation to solve the crime?

I wish I read this book as a child; my vocabulary would have been so much better. Children have got a lot of new words to learn from the book. Mostly, I was impressed by the author's use of powerful verbs and nouns—the bricks of composition. Children will also enjoy the numerous pictures stationed all over the book. However, my greatest appreciation for this book stems from the moral lessons it instructs. Children will learn the value of teamwork. Though the team is organized by Inca, she couldn't have been effective without her teammates. She also forgives her brother without making a fuss—I hope children will learn to bicker less. Moreover, Inca records every necessary event in her diary so that she doesn't forget. This is a valuable character; it makes us more productive. Children are also induced to love animals. On the other hand, children will gain some interesting knowledge about Sri Lanka, animals, and French culture. I never knew a turtle can live over a hundred years.

I don't dislike anything about the book. It was wonderfully well-edited. This is essential so that children do not learn wrong grammar. Accordingly, I rate this book four out of four stars. This book is suitable for children. More specifically, it is recommended for children between the ages of seven and eleven years. Children’s tutors will also find it valuable.

Having gone through the review of this book, I have no doubt about its efficacy to inculcate in children the core values of humanity and human relations. With extra advantage of correct English sentences and expressions, this book is definitely worth recommending for children consumption.

[Joan Ifeoma]

From your review, Inca must really enjoy this detective work. What else can I expect from a snoopy cat. Good job.

[ikechukwuamarachi+55]

Solving crimes requires so much intellect and intuition. I'm sure considering reading this piece to know if Inca will forfeit her vacation to solve the crime. Nice review.

[Mmanwa+Udenze]

I read widely as a kid, but I would also have loved to have read this book. I could do with more vocabulary, and there is no better time to learn than as a kid.
