The Famous Five 3 in 1: Five on a Hike Together, Five Have a Wonderful Time, Five Go Down to the Sea by Enid Blyton
4.0
So much nostalgia for these books. I remember getting super mad at the gender roles even as a child (like. girls can do everything boys can, so why do you have to treat the girls like they’re fragile and breakable. also Anne, make the boys help with doing the dishes and cleaning smfh).
Also, I’m sure Enid Blyton would have had an aneurysm upon the realization that she’d written a solid trans character without knowing it (: George always gets so happy when referred to as a boy, wears boys clothing, likes participating in traditionally “male” and refuses to answer to Georgina. I mean, come onnnnnnn, it’s waaaay past being a tomboy at that point.
