Five Go Adventuring Again: Book 2 (Famous Five)

Product Information

I enjoyed this one, even though the mystery doesn't happen until three quarters of the way into the book. We have an old farm house and a secret passage. Timmy comes to the rescue again but he has a hard time in this story.

Five Go Adventuring Again by Enid Blyton, First Edition Five Go Adventuring Again by Enid Blyton, First Edition

Adult interference is curtailed, empowerment and decision-making encouraged and these crucial elements underpin the plot of each of her works, balancing the unfortunate sexism and racism endemic to the era in which she flourished.I could empathise with poor George in this book. I'm quite stubborn myself and I would probably react the same way if I had a tutor like Mr. Roland. It was so obvious that he was up to no good, I mean, Timmy wouldn't even shake hands with him. Having now read _Five Go Adventuring Again_, I have the strong suspicion that George is the best thing ever, as she is a girl with a boy’s name who prefers to be called ‘Master George,’ she actually gets away doing poorly at school on the excuse that she hasn’t ever been there before, and not only does she solve the mystery of who has been stealing her father’s scientific work, but she also solves the ages-old secret-passage mystery as well – while everyone else (including the adults) are just kind of standing around being like, ‘hmm, everything is so confusing, probably because we are only eleven!’ There's a thief at Kirrin Cottage! The Famous Five think they know who it is, but they need to prove it! Where can they find evidence? The discovery of an old map and very unusual hiding place is all they need to get to the bottom of this mystery and uncover the true culprit! I can see why this series is such a classic. I kept reading references to the Famous Five stories in books by British authors so decided it was time for me to read the series! I'm glad I did! These are children's stories and a bit dated, but very enjoyable tales! There are 21 books in the series, published from 1942 through 1963. Then there are eight short stories added in 1995. Five Go Adventuring Again is the second book in the series. I still have a lot of reading to do! :) Forgotten the title or the author of a book? Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you.

This is book number 2 and I'd not read it before this week when I read it to my daughter, Celyn. Being only the 2nd volume it's one where some of the basic 'mythology' of the series is established. This article about a children's novel of the 1940s is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. The other central issue is that of the Secret Way - which is a secret tunnel that for no apparent reason joins Kirrin Cottage to Kirrin Farm. It seems to be a vast and pointless feat of engineering. It doesn't even have smuggling potential.Kiddle encyclopedia articles are based on selected content and facts from Wikipedia, edited or rewritten for children.
