I grew up reading Enid Blyton’s Famous Five series. I loved the ordinariness of the children, the excitement of their adventures and their freedom to roam the countryside without adult supervision. This book takes me back to that time of reading under the blankets with a torch. Set against a fabulous backdrop of beautiful stately homes and gardens, wild moors and twisting, turning country lanes, this story shares the same sense of adventure as the Famous Five but is brought up to date for young readers in the modern age. This series will appeal to children in Key Stage Two, from keen readers in Year 3 upwards. A classic adventure story with plenty of action and daring rescues topped off with a good helping of home-baked scones.
