Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi


North Korea and South Korea make up the Korean Peninsula, a territory in Asia separated into two countries. The Demilitarized Zone is the line that separates the two countries (DMZ).


Missy, Inca's human mother, had a big occasion, therefore Inca and his investigative team traveled to the Korean Peninsula. Missy was chosen as one of the judges for the Le Cordon Bleu French patisserie competition in South Korea. This event was held in order to promote peace between North and South Korea.


Inca and her family, as well as two of her family friends (Solo and Terrence), met Ye-Jun on their trip to South Korea (a tour guide who showed them a place to stay). Ye-Jun shared his apartment with his dog Baram. He had a sister named Ji who, lived with Bo-mi in North Korea (Bo-mi is a cat). Bo-mi was a friend to Baram. Baram and Ye-Jun have felt like something has been missing in their lives since JI and Bo-mi moved to North Korea. When Inca and her investigative team learnt of Ye-Jun and Baram's predicament, they resolved to assist them in reuniting the family. Get a copy of the book to see if the detective team was successful in their objective.


R.F. Kristi's book Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a fascinating diary written from Inca's point of view. It's full of drama and action, and it'll keep kids entertained while also teaching them some valuable lessons. The narrative is written in a detailed style that allows the reader to imagine the events mentioned in the novel. There were no serious grammatical faults that I discovered. There were only a few punctuation problems that I discovered. The author was able to create a fascinating story with a variety of events and locales while maintaining the plot's essential concepts. The story's clarity is excellent. I didn't get lost or have to go back and reread parts to figure out what was going on. The story is enhanced by the gorgeous illustrations incorporated. When children refer to the illustrations, they will be able to comprehend the story better. There are no violent scenes, erotic scenes, or curse words in the book.


The part of the novel where Inca and her team assisted Missy in her search for her missing cheese was my favorites. The description of that specific scene is both dramatic and thrilling. The other portion involved Inca's brother, Fromage, dealing with Enzo (a French chef who was also Missy's competitor). The action sounded noble.


Children will learn about teamwork, empathy, and loyalty from this book. The importance of sustaining peace is another key lesson that children will learn. Children will also learn about the Korean Peninsula's history.


Children aged 5 to 12 should read the book, in my opinion. Because of the sophisticated words utilized, children under the age of five will struggle to understand the story.
