As a detective, it was Inca’s job to solve cases and rescue people. She loved her job because she loved helping people. The funny thing about Inca’s job is that she has no working hours. She could be on vacation, and a case that needed to be solved would drop into her furry lap. Inca’s human mom had been given a chance to be a judge at a cooking show, and she decided to carry Inca and her furry siblings along with her to South Korea. There, these furry siblings, who were all detectives, met Baram, a dog that was overcome with sorrow because she had been separated from her friend for years. Inca knew she had to do all she could to bring joy into Baram’s life, so she decided to go on a rescue mission. The plan was to go into North Korea, get Baram’s friend, and reunite the two. But how can she do all of this if she does not have the papers to cross the border in the first place?

Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula was written by R.F. Kristi. In this book, she tells a story of friendship, brilliance, empathy, and bravery. I liked that the story was filled with so many lessons on the importance of compassion for one another. I am also glad R.F. Kristi used this book to teach about South Korea and North Korea. I learned much about the war between them in the past. It also told me some things they have done to bring peace between them.

The story in Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is interesting to me. What made it even more so was Inca’s brother. His name is Fromage. Fromage has a confusing love for cheese. It is confusing because he is a cat, and I have been told that only mice can love cheese that much. I liked him a lot because he always describes his encounter with cheese as the most beautiful thing he can ever imagine. In this book, he describes how he dealt with a cheese saboteur in the most exaggerated way, which made me burst into laughter. He is what I like most in Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula.

Errors exist in Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula. Do not be afraid. There are not so many. This book was still professionally edited. I did not dislike anything about it and believe it lacks negative aspects. I liked reading about the adventures Inca went on and would love nothing more than a sequel to this book.

I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars for being educative and refreshing. I fell in love with it. Every part of it was written beautifully. I have no reason to rate it lower. It is not a long read, so I was able to read it twice. That should tell you that I liked it so much. The main reason for the perfect rating above is that I liked everything about it. I recommend Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula to young readers who love adventure novels about cats, dogs, and house pets who do what they can to rescue people from the pits of sadness.
