Inca was going to South Korea. She had no idea what that country would look like, but she was optimistic about it. On getting there, she became acquainted with a Korean dog called Baram. Baram was kind, soft-spoken, and beautiful beyond comparison. One thing deeply troubled her. She had been separated from a cat, who was like a sister to her, a long time ago. Baram and her owner were going through so much pain, and Inca could not bear to see that. They knew the pain that came because of that separation was real. They were determined to do something about that. Do you think they will take Baram to meet her long-lost kin, or will they attempt to rescue her from North Korea? How daring do you think Inca and the rest of her family are?

Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a novella that records the activities of Inca, her friends, and her family in South Korea. They were detectives whose job was to solve crimes and crack mysteries. Everything in the book is told from Inca's perspective (who is the leader of her group of detectives). One thing I liked about her leadership was that she allowed other people's opinions to be heard, regardless of what they were saying. For instance, Fromage was obsessed with cheese, but she never shut him up when he went on a rant about how delicious cheese is and how he would do anything to protect that food. This showed true leadership qualities, and it impressed me a lot. Young readers will learn much from Inca, even though she is just a cat.

Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a well-written book. I enjoyed reading it because it taught me a lot. I know it will teach young readers so much about our world today. It talked about leadership qualities, the history of South Korea, loyalty, and many other traits that people who call themselves good should have. There was nothing negative about this book, and I liked all of it.

Another positive thing about Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is its diversity. There was no racism or cases where people were judged based on their race, skin color, or physical attributes. We had South Korean, French, and English characters in the story, and they all existed and lived in harmony for the duration of the story. This will teach young readers that they must always judge people based on their character, not their race. I like this little lesson the most.

There were no negative aspects to Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula. It was edited professionally, and I expected nothing less from R.F. Kristi. The story was written beautifully, and I think it is high time R.F. Kristi looked into making a movie out of it. I rate it four out of four stars because I loved all parts of it.

There is no denying that Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is for young readers from the age of 5 to the age of 11. I recommend it to parents and schools with readers within that age range in their care because it will benefit them greatly and teach them about new cultures and countries. It will also teach them about traits that they should all possess.
