Serendipity Mystery; Diary of a Snoopy Cat (Inca Cat Detective Series book 7) is a book by R.F Kristi. The book is about a cat named Inca and her adventures. Inca’s family includes; mom, aunt Florence, her brother, Fromage, her sister, Cara, their hamster friend Charlotte. They live in London, but they are from Paris. Serendipity Mystery; Diary of a Snoopy Cat is the seventh book in the Inca Cat Detective Series. Inca is a detective cat. She is the head of Inca & Company detective agency. She is a self-proclaimed queen of kitties.

Inca’s adventures started when her mom accompanied her and her siblings, Cara, Fromage and Charlotte to Galle in Sri Lanka to spend the holiday. They found out some items were stolen from the museum. The director of the museum invited their friend Solo who is a detective, and his dog Terrance, to help solve the case of the stolen item. Solo was a detective. Inca and her siblings had new friends in Sri Lanka. Their new-found friends were Meena and Mama, the elephants and Rani the sea turtle. They help solve the crime they had a lot of adventures. Inca met many other animals including monkeys, a python, a tiger, and her cubs. Some of their adventures were dangerous.

Serendipity Mystery; Diary of a Snoopy Cat is a children’s book genre. The narration is told from the first-person point of view. The author described the characters vividly, and the illustrations in the book were beautiful. Inca was a courageous and inquisitive cat. She loved and defended her family. She was unafraid to risk her life for her loved ones, and she trusted her instinct. The entire family looked out for each other and their friends. The book contains some difficult words which would be an excellent addition to children’s vocabulary.

However, I noticed only the word, “antique”, had the meaning explained. I could see some other big word like “unanimous”, “globetrotters”, etc with their meanings unexplained. I noticed a spelling error. These errors were not enough to detract from this book.

I rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars. The book is properly organized. The story is genuinely fascinating, and the illustration is excellent. It is good enough to capture the interest and increase the curiosity of anyone that reads it. There are good lessons in this book. Although I believe the older children can read this book, I recommend this book for children ages 5 to 10.

Thanks for the great review. It's a cute storyline which is endearing, however I rated the book 3 out of 4 stars because the illustrations were too small for my liking. I would have preffered illustrations which filled the whole page.

I agree with you that the illustrations were quite nice. I liked how you described Inca. Some of the difficult words used made me think that an adult could read the book and explain them to the child.

It is very interesting mystery thriller for children. Hope they will learn the love for animals. Thanks for this great review.
