Reviews

"Pacey and passionate, this truly exceptional book tells a tale that truly needs to be heard" - Lovereading4kids 

"I loved so much of Enid Blyton ... the Famous Five were my favourites of all, so much so that I demanded to be called George for most of my early childhood" - East Anglian Daily Times 

"As the first set of 'grown-up' books I ever discovered I could read on my own, the Famous Five have a very special place in my heart. I still remember running through to my parents' room to tell them I could read well enough to go adventuring with the Five without their help. And with 21 books in the series, I had plenty of escapades to look forward to!" - The List (Glasgow & Edinburgh) *

"This book is so exciting you'll want to play detective yourself" - The Week Junior 

"Dangerous criminals are no match for children and a dog. Adults are useless" - Country Life

"Famous Five books are essential for all children's bookshelves" - MADEFORMUMS.COM
