Okay this was pretty fun tbh. The twins thing was kinda clever but also kinda annoying.

At this stage in the series, the five have become self-aware and are describing themselves as The Famous Five and joking about an adventure being about to fall on their heads.
It's kind of hilarious.
Blyton keeps injuring Timmy as a plot device, it's sad, but it's so clear that nothing will ever happen to him that I can't get that worried.
This one didn't have Romans but did have Roman ruins and had amusing Scooby Doo style weirdness.

One of my favourite Famous 5 adventures, which kicks off when George leaves home in the middle of the night because she feels like everyone is laughing at her beloved Timmy (who had a misadventure that ended with him needed to wear a cardboard collar). Before long George and Timmy are joined by Anne and soon Dick and Julian. Throw in a pair of feuding twins with a passion for archeology, a group of crooks on the prowl for riches and a permanently angry at being interrupted Uncle Quentin - and you’ve got a cracking read...

This is one of the first books I ever remember reading alone, and will always have a soft spot in my heart. It remains one of my favourites out of the Famous Five series and was a wonderful book to read when I was young and still is just as enjoyable today.
