The Diary of a Snoopy Cat written by R.F. Kristi is an adventurous, exciting story of a Siberian cat Inca and her furry friends. Inca resolves to solve all detective cases in the vicinity and decides to record it in a diary. She is assisted by her siblings, Cara and Fromage and their assortment of animal friends such as Charlotte, a dwarf hamster, the blue Russian cat Monk, Terrance, a savvy investigator, and a golden retriever dog, and the chatty Polo.
The wonderful story told from the cat’s point of view is fascinating as you begin reading the book. The story takes a good twist when Monk informs Inca that Terrance, Solo and Hobbs would embark on a dangerous journey to Himalayas to search for their missing friend Raoul. With Terrance not in sight, Inca decides to prove her detective prowess. She resolves to unravel the case of Mr Finchley’s missing will and save her friend Ned from evicting the house he inherited. Now it was up to Inca to prove that Ned was the rightful owner of the house and help her friend Boss, a ferocious Rottweiler dog from misery. Will Inca be able to solve the puzzling case? The story then takes interesting twists and turns.
With amazing suspense and climaxes, the book manages to hook the reader from the beginning to the end. There are several instances where the narrative makes for a fun read. For example, when the author describes how Fromage got his name after a French cheese, his never-ending crave for cheese, and how Charlotte and Fromage, despite their sharp contrast characters, are still the best of friends. The deep care shown by Ned towards Ross is rather touching. The author manages to convince that an animal can also be a man’s best friend.
There are a lot of illustrations in the book that are quite funny. The cartoons explain each and every character. For instance, the story begins with the picture of Inca showing him as the leader, the sketch of “Smarty Pants” describing Inca, Cara, the mom’s pet, lying on the mat and licking her paws are comical and entertaining. The language is simple and the font size is appealing.
While reading the book, I found a few minor grammatical errors which could be ignored. There are lots of characters introduced one after another and are quite confusing. Kids especially within the age group of 10 years will find it difficult to understand. Still the book is very good, and I would give 4 out of 4 stars. Children within the age group of 11 to 17 years, teens and young adults would find the book enthralling and appealing, In fact, this is the first time I am reading a book on Inca book series, and I really would like to read more such books in the future.
