The Famous Five by Enid Blyton - review

five run away together Enid Blyton

These books are the books that I couldn't put down. Each chapter ends with a "what's going to happen next?", "what's going happen next?"

It's about a family with a cousin and a dog called Timothy. There are five of them altogether which make up the Famous Five.

There are three boys: Dick, Julian, Timothy. There are two girls; one is Anne who is helpful, sensible and funny. One is Georgina, (she would like to be a boy so I think I should say GEORGE), sometimes she is bad tempered but then other times she is nice and 'a delight' according to Julian.

My favourite Famous Five adventure is Famous Five Run Away Together. Their good cook is ill and they get a horrible replacement. They need to escape from her so they grab some water and food and run away to George's Island. When they get there they find something (I won't say what because it will give the story away). When the five think she has come to find them but they discover they are wrong!!!!
