Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is a children's book of 119 pages. The author started by introducing the members of Inca & Company, a detective agency headed by Inca. The events in this book spanned from the 10th of April to the 17th of April, when Missy was selected to be one of the international judges at the patisserie competition organized by Le Cordon Bleu in South Korea. Missy would also seize the opportunity to present her new cheese to guests at the event.

When they got to South Korea, Inca and his detective friends met Barma. He was sad and lonely and wanted to reunite with his best friend, Bo-Mi, who now lives with Ji in North Korea. Will Inca & Company dare to cross the Korean Peninsula heavily guarded by the North and South Korean armies to reunite the old friends?

After reading the description of this book, I knew I would have an enjoyable reading experience. However, I must admit that my reading experience surpassed what I anticipated. Firstly, I found the author's writing style very simple, and I think the targeted audience would find it easy to comprehend.

Again, I appreciate how the author reminded readers and the world about the urgent need to resolve the South and North Korean conflict so that families and friends across both borders can reunite. I also like the tenacity the animals showed in solving mysteries and their willingness and courage to take risks to make friends and families happy.

Furthermore, I found this book to be educational. For instance, readers would learn about the Korean Demilitarization Zone (DMZ) and the meaning of some Korean names like Ji, Bo-Mi, Baram, and Ye-Jun.

Except that I found inconsistency in the spelling of the name of a particular character, I found no other significant typos in the book. Nothing to dislike about this book, as the story is captivating, and the writing style looks perfect. I am awarding Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi the maximum rating of four out of four stars for these reasons.

I recommend this book to children who love stories about animals. I also think readers who like books about adventures and solving mysteries would find the book interesting.

I appreciate how R.F. Kristi introduces children to the delicate political saga that is North and South Korea. I also find it very interesting how children’s authors use animal characters to reinforce their point.

I have read a lot of reviews about this book and your review corroborates with them. I am sadly not the target audience. Good review!
