An artifact gone missing. A jungle full of clues. Can one cat detective save a national treasure?

Inca the Siberian Kitty can’t wait to add Sri Lanka to the list of places she’s explored. But before her paws touch the sandy beaches, she learns a local museum needs her crime-solving skills to track down a stolen ancient sword. With her trusty diary in tow, Inca leaps whisker-first down a trail of clues that leads her deep into the wild jungle.

After getting a little help from a baby elephant and her not-so-distant leopard cousins, she learns about the country’s rich history and just how important it is to restore the sword to its rightful place. With her furry family and new friends by her side, Inca can feel she’s close to getting her claws on the sword… but it’ll take teamwork to save a priceless piece of history.

Serendipity Mystery is the 7th standalone children’s book in the Diary of a Snoopy Cat series, which is purrfect for kids ages 7-12. If you and your child like new cultural experiences, animal detectives, and tales of teamwork, then you’ll love R.F. Kristi’s globetrotting adventures.

Nice adventure

Reviewed in Mexico on 3 January 2021

Verified Purchase

This was a good story. It is easy to read. I think children will enjoy it. At some points, I think it includes a lot of extra information that might be distractive. Also, sometimes it can be a bit repetitive. However, I think this can be something good for kids also. I consider the vocabulary is very adequate for children and English learners.

Inca, the Snoopy Cat

Reviewed in the United States on 12 May 2019

Verified Purchase

Inca, the Snoopy Cat, and her family travel to Sri Lanka for vacation. These furry companions meet elephants, big cat cousins, a turtle named Ronnie and a very scary python out to make a midnight snack of Inca! I loved the descriptions of the exotic locale of Sri Lanka and the delight that was shown by the kittens throughout the book.

This is wonderfully fun story for kids (and adults, too!), full of adventure, mystery, detective work and loads of fun creatures. I am definitely not a kid (unless I'm in my second childhood at 61), but I love listening to this one. I would definitely recommend this book (and the series) to anyone looking for a entertaining audiobook for youngsters and their families.

The narrator does a great job and that voice? I couldn't decide if it was a young girl or just a woman able to make herself sound that way. Either way, her performance really added a lot to my enjoyment. My only complaint is that the pauses between chapters was very brief, making it hard for the listener to stop the book at an appropriate place.

I was given the opportunity to listen to this book by the narrator/publisher/author and chose to review it

Another fun loving and adventurous tale around Inca and her detective agency

Reviewed in India on 31 August 2018

Verified Purchase

R.F. Kristy has successfully woven another hearty adventure tale around Inca and her band of detectives. Serendipity Mystery is the 7th installment in Inca book series but can be read stand alone as well.

The story revolves around Inca and her family comprising Cara, a conceited Siamese kitty; Fromage, a tabby cat who adores cheese; Charlotte; a dwarf hamster and a devoted friend to Fromage and their jointly owned humanoid - Mom Missy. Dog lovers need not lose heart as the Inca detective agency even has her dog friend in it - Terrance, a professional detective dog who lives in their neighborhood and is owned by renowned detective Solo. The book is based on Inca’s adventures in Sri Lanka, away from their home and therefore doesn't have some of the characters in active roles but these do get mentioned in between the plot. New readers might get overwhelmed by the long list of cast presented at the beginning and by the sporadic mention of others from previous books; but the solution is to not put too much thought on such mentions and just go with the flow as the plot proceeds, as it is actually an easy read. I would take this as more of an advantage, as interested new readers would feel like going through all the episodes while reading this one and older readers would get to rejoice in the mention of their other beloved characters.

Inca and her family are on a vacation to Sri Lanka when they get involved in a case of robbery at a museum; a sword and a bag full of gold coins have gone missing and robbers allegedly posed as policemen and tricked the guards in to allowing them to enter the museum. Solo arrives soon with his dog Terrance to solve the mystery. While Solo is doing his work, the curious Kitty and her detectives leave no stone unturned to reach the depth of matter. This time Inca even has help from her new friends - Rani, the turtle; Meena, the baby elephant and her Mama elephant.

The author has done justice to the Sri Lankan theme by including the beaches, lush tea gardens and wild-life in the story. The book is not just a detective mystery but also a delectable account of friendship and love, sprinkled wonderfully with charm of beautiful Sri Lanka. There are few incidents that do not contribute to the main flow of events - encounter with python, leopard and her two cubs but these would actually instigate the young hearts to know more of the place and explore beyond the designated line.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 for it’s well distributed dose of mystery, fun, exploration, friendship and family values. Young minds would love to learn the behavioral aspects of different species of animals mentioned. The book is recommended to children of age group 5 - 9 but anybody who loves such light hearted accounts would like the book.

Island Mystery and the friendly cats

Serendipity Mystery: Diary of a Snoopy Cat

This seventh episode of the Inca Detective Agency finds Inca, the Siberian detective cat, vacationing in Sri Lanca, enjoying the soft warm sand. She and her colleagues, Cara and Fromage, befriend the local sea turtles, becoming quite close with Rani, the smallest turtle. They then meet the Meena, a baby elephant, and her mother who live next door. It seems a glorious holiday.

But as often seems to happen, when famous literary detectives vacation, mystery travels with them. By lunchtime, Inca learns of the theft of a valuable artifact from a local museum. “The mysterious disappearance – or theft – of an old sword”, she claims, “was right up my alley.” A precipitous location, how could any cat resist!

The museum calls in Solo, “a well-known international [human] detective, but it is, of course, Inca who solves the crime with the help of her new friends. I can't say if this case is up to inca's usual standard of detective work. As the title suggests, this is a serendipitous mystery – one solved by chance more than by careful logic or inspired deduction. But if Inca had been a less friendly kitty, as many we know are, Meena and Rani might not have supplied the needed clues and the detectives may have come up empty-handed (or empty-pawed). “It had”, as Inca acknowledged,”been a group effort.” Clearly, one lesson from this book is about the importance of friendship and cooperation.

This story is packed with adventure. Aside from the mystery of the stolen sword, it contains a tale of great suspense. Inca, searches the jungle for a wayward Fromage, Fleeing a treacherous snake, she comes between a leopard and her cubs. Recognizing their shared kinship, the leopard accepts Inca and helps her return home to the cottage on the beach. Fromage, of course, has already returned after a short time in the dark jungle gave him second thoughts about a midnight stroll. Inca is clearly a brave cat and loyal to her family.

Fromage is a Bertie Wooster of cats: happy-go-lucky, if a bit self-centered and dunder-headed at times.
The vocabulary of the book should appeal to children. Words like “blunderbuss”, “globetrotters”, and “heebie-jeebies” are fun to hear and say. Inca is also a fount of, perhaps unintended, comedy. Faced with the opportunity to ride one of the elephants she has several questions: “Would I be crushed like a bug? Would I be flattened like a pancake? Would Mama Elephant sneeze and blow me all the way to China?” Then she thinks: why not? “I still have all of my nine lives left. Why not take a chance with just one?”.

It was a pleasure getting to know Inca, the Queen of Kitties, and getting to see her detective agency in operation. I'm sure many children, and their cat-loving parents will enjoy this book. The illustrations are charming. These cats bear a certain resemblance to those of T.S.Elliot's (pre-Broadway) Ol' Possum's Book of Practical Cats – quite urbane. In color, they are even more engaging. The coloring is more subtle, less primary, than in most children's books, adding to the sense of sophistication.

Because this book met or exceeded my expectations: the cats were cute, but not sickeningly so, and the story was actually quite riveting, especially the midnight foray in the jungle, I am happy to rate this 4 out of 5 stars.

Reviewed in India on 28 September 2018

Serendipity Mystery :Diary of a Snoopy cat is a well written story. This is a story of a cat and her friends who go in search of missing artefact in Sri Lanka. In the story all the animals and reptiles are working together to solve the mystery. Sometimes we forget that characters are animals. This is a fantastic book for animal lovers and adventure seekers. Pictures in the book makes it more beautiful and interesting. It shows the meaning if teamwork and friendship. Easy to read. As it written for children up to age 14 but is suitable for all ages. I suggest all to read it .
