Five Have a Mystery to Solve by Enid Blyton
3.0
Nostalgia read. :)
I think that the "Famous Five" were the first real books (not picture books) I've ever read - the series that started it all!
I remember them being the favourites of my crush-at-the-time (apparently I've always had a thing for intellectuals). :P Books last, romances fade...
I remember not yet being able to pronounce English names correctly, but pronouncing them according to Croatian shallow ortography - and Uncle Quentin frustrated me with his unpronounceable Q!
And I remember being rather enthralled with their adventures. And the elements of the stories (this particular one, at least) have stuck with me, I see, in ways I didn't expect and wasn't conscious of.
