A review by ettegoom
Five Are Together Again by Enid Blyton
2.0
Finally finished the series, it'll be good to read something else.
In terms of this book, I'm a little sick of the trope where circus people are harbouring criminals.
Also, as this is the last book in the series, I would have liked to have had a conclusion to the kids' story of sorts.
I can't help worrying about George and what it's going to be like for them growing up and having to face adulthood when their body doesn't match their identity.
This is something I'd like to have seen explored further as it's all very well having someone identify as a boy, despite being told to grow out of it throughout their entire life, but it's an entirely other thing to have to go through adolescence and have to deal with your own body doing it to you.
Obviously, at the time the books were written, this wasn't possible, although having that representation there is definitely valuable. It would be interesting to be able to follow that part of their life though.
