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

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!’ Find sources: "Five Go Adventuring Again"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( July 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) I did like the bit where the Christmas tree was decorated with candles that were then lit! I suppose if you're going to live like that then digging your way through collapsing sand tunnels is par for the course!The Five have to have tutoring over the Christmas holidays because of illness. It snows heavily and they can't get out. This article about a children's novel of the 1940s is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. Generally a three-star read, but shoots up to four because of the scene that has George rescuing her dog Timothy from the cold, and because he's been kept out, poor Timothy is coughing, so she takes him into the study to keep him warm and rub ointment on his chest and the illustration of George rubbing ointment on Timothy's chest and saying, "Lie down here by the fire, darling, and get nice and warm" made me want to bawl my eyes out. According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare. Unfortunately for George, the others don't seem to think that Mr Roland is all that bad so maybe it's just a personality clash! The plot runs its merry way and at one stage Uncle Quentin who is George's father finds that someone has been into his study with ill intent! Three of the scientist's very important papers are missing and Quentin learns that George had very recently been in there which is a pity because she's currently in disgrace and suspicion has a habit of attaching itself to such people.

Five Go Adventuring Again - Goodreads

I enjoyed reading about their little Christmas celebrations, and it was inspiring to see how they band together against a common enemy. Five Go Adventuring Again (published in 1943) is the second book in the Famous Five series by the British author, Enid Blyton. Plot To me the book shows how different children view authority. George is the rebellious one who although has justification for disliking the tutor, Mr. Rowland (he does not like dogs), she shows little respect for him or her father. Anne on the other hand feels that Mr. Rowland is there to help them learn and although she is scared of him like the rest of the children, she often has to be coerced into doing the "wrong" thing.Di sela-sela kegiatan belajar dan persiapan malam Natal, Lima Sekawan berkunjung ke Kirrin Farm yang dulunya milik keluarga George. Bu Sanders, pengelola tempat tersebut, menceritakan ubin dan dinding yang bisa digeser dan dibuka secara misterius. Lima Sekawan langsung tertarik. Mereka mengeksplorasi tempat tersebut dan menemukan benda-benda tua, salah satunya peta dari linen. Peta itu menunjukan sebuah jalan rahasia. Lima Sekawan tidak bisa melanjutkan mencari jalan tersebut karena beberapa kamar di Kirrin Farm disewa oleh doa orang seniman. 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. Enid Blyton wrote a vast number of books (~800) and she must have written most of them in the space of a few weeks. She also appears to know rather little about history, science, mechanics etc and it shows - but only to adults who find themselves reading the books. The Secret Way is described as being dug through sandy soil ... which boggles the mind ... and the children encounter cave-ins along the length of it, meaning that their exploration of it is actually mind-bendingly fool-hardy.
