The Famous Five (Part 4)

  You all must have heard about "The Famous Five" written by Enid Blyton . I read this book last year, when I was in 8th class. This is the 4th book in the series : Five Go To Smuggler's Top. This is a mysterious and adventurous story. The story starts off with  four children (Julian, Dick, Georgina & Anne) and a dog named Timmy. Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy the Dog meet once again to begin, what they believe to be, a 'normal' summer holiday. Meeting at George's home, the first night doesn't quite go to plan; a terrible storm leaves the household in turmoil as a tree falls on the property. Worried that they may not be able to spend their holiday together, George's father, the formidable Uncle Quentin, solves the problem, by sending them to Smuggler's Top, home to a professional colleague of Quentin's, Mr. Lenoir. Arriving at Smuggler's top, not at all as it seems and they soon find themselves caught in a twisted plot.

  When they reach smuggler's top,they find many suspicious things happening around them. Then they start their adventure solving each mysterious thing happening around them. It is simply sweet, and innocently fun - isn't that what childhood is meant to be? For those of you that are familiar with the Famous Five novels, they pretty much follow a similar plot; the children go on their holidays, find something is wrong, investigate and explore, till the plot reaches it's climax, usually with the children facing a bad predicament and finally it being resolved and everyone is back together at the end.

  When I read this book, I found it very exciting, gripping and definitely my favourite out of the Famous Five Series, so much that I re-visited the book very often. I hope today's children still get to read Enid Blyton's books - her novels are far too good to be forgotten!

  I recommend each and everyone to read this book in summer vacation.You will have a close relationship with this book and you will surely have a good time with it.
