Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is the eighth book in the series. The ever-curious Inca has found another case to solve, but this time there is not only a sibling relation but also the creamiest cheese in the world at stake!

Inca, the cat detective, and her family are going to South Korea. Her human mother, Missy, has been selected to judge a French patisserie competition. Missy has decided to take this opportunity to present her newly created special cheese. On reaching their destination, they meet their tour guide, Ye-Jun. He takes them to his humble abode, where they come to know about his sister, Ji. She is also taking part in the competition and has a cat named Bo-Mi. They both live in North Korea. He misses them but can’t meet them because of the tension between North and South Korea. Would Inca be able to reunite this family? Would this mission be successful?

This is a beautiful book with captivating illustrations and an easy-to-follow storyline. I liked that the author has made the book informative. The book provides knowledge about Siberian Tigers, North Korea, South Korea, their customs, etcetera. The author has also tried to convey a life lesson through the story that we can do anything to protect the ones we love. She has depicted this through instances, like the pets ruining Enzo’s plan, the pets being worried for Solo over him breaking rules, Ji getting worried for Bo-Mi, etcetera. The pictures given alongside the text made the story more entertaining.

There was nothing to dislike in the book. There were a handful of errors, but they didn’t disrupt the flow of the story. The plot is intriguing enough to keep the children hooked. The narrative is very conversational, which makes the reader feel they are talking to Inca.

I would like to rate this book four out of four stars, as it seemed professionally edited. I would recommend this book to children of all ages, as the story doesn’t have profanities or sexual content.

A powerful fable that is worthy of time commitment. The only one that hampered my enthusiasm to enjoy the book was the grammatical errors need to be rectified. Thanks for this honest and explicit review, buddy!

Oh I just love the cat-detectives! This book is so much fun for both, kids and adults. I wonder how did Inca succeed this time to accomplish the task at hands (or should I say paws)? Thanks for a lovely review!
