Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a book that explains the danger Inca and her friends found themselves in in the Korean peninsula. Inca and her family were to go to South Korea for a while. Inca's human mother was invited to be one of the judges in a cooking competition between North Korea and South Korea. That was also her chance to unveil her latest cheese. Fromage, Inca's brother, had taken it upon himself to guard the cheese at all times. He would not let any harm come to it. On the other hand, Inca must decide whether or not she will help a friendly dog she met in South Korea. She must decide whether it is wise to cross the border into North Korea to reunite her host with his sister and her cat. Big decisions are never made lightly. Pulling this off will not be easy, but what else can she do?

I did not dislike anything about Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula. There was no negative aspect to this cute book. At first glance, you would say that Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is not a book for older readers. I do not believe that to be true. I am no kid, yet I lapped up everything R.F. Kristi wrote in Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula like a hungry puppy. I liked it that much.

Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a simple book. Yet, it addressed some serious matters of interest. It talked about the theme of separation, which may still be a constant in the Korean peninsula. When Korea split, many families were separated. Many siblings never saw each other again, and so many others were reunited decades later. I cannot imagine losing touch with my siblings. It would break me just like it broke the host in the story. This plot will teach many readers (who are ignorant of the consequences of Korea's split) what some families went through. This is one of the reasons I could not stop reading the story. It was both entertaining and educational to me.

R.F. Kristi also added some humor to lighten the air that was thick with grief. She also gave short lectures about critical places in the Korean peninsula. There were caves, trees, and some other attractions. R.F. Kristi took advantage of every chance she could to educate all her readers, myself included, about the Korean peninsula. That is the aspect and feature I liked the most in Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula. I am also glad that I did not dislike anything in it.

I have decided to give Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula a rating of 4 out of 4 stars R.F. Kristi made it perfect. Its editing was done professionally too. It had only a few errors and opened my ignorant eyes to specific facts about the Korean peninsula. I recommend Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula to young and old readers who want to learn some facts about the Korean peninsula. If you also love books where house pets have to make big decisions, I recommend to you Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula.
