Read Blyton books as a teenager and I throughly enjoyed them. I think I especially enjoyed the mystery and relationships of the characters.

I have to say, I fell in love with George immediately. I think she is the only character who actually grows during this book. The side characters, especially uncle Quentin brought on a unique layer to the plot. I must mention that ...more

This book is the first book of Famous Five series, i don't want to say it's bad, but it's not that good beside other books of famous five. i really like every character in this book, George who always thinking that she's should not be cry because it's the girl identity, she's want to be a boy. Julian, who always have a bright idea that it saved them all for a dangerous. DICK, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, in this book he's very shining. Anne too, without her, five can't found a secret well. And yeaaa, don't forget to mention our lovely dog, Tim, he's really cool, truly a guard of the Five. This book is pretty good surface, worth to read.

It's amazing to see how much the five disliked each other before they really just had to get along. I'm one of theany Enid Blyton readers who just never starts with the first book, so, when I read this, it was a pleasant surprise for me
