Good adventure. I think the portrayal of other cultures and people is rather old fashioned now!

Just finished reading the set of The Adventure series and it really did take me back to my childhood.

Colonial perspective gave a different lens compared to when reading it as a child.

Love the cute magical vibes although the depiction of foreigners seemed off

Rereading this series as an adult makes me realized how... terribly dangerous their adventures are... Honestly it's a miracle they still alive without any serious scars, and somehow their parents don't really make a big deal😂

One of my question through reading the book is how many suitcases of canned food did they bring to their adventures? Seriously tho, all they do, besides the adventure obviously, is opening dozens of canned food yet they never ran out of food😂
