This is an extract from Daniel’s review; to read the rest have a look in the Year 3 corridor.

Book Review of The Famous Five – Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton.

This book is all about 4 children called George, who is a girl called Georgina but would like to be a boy, Julian, Dick and Anne and a dog named Timothy who is also sometimes called Tim.

The book starts with 2 brothers called Julian and Dick and their sister Anne being sent to have a holiday with an auntie, uncle and cousin at the seaside in the south of England (they have never met them before) for 3 weeks while their parents go on holiday to Scotland.

 

The story follows their adventures on Kerrin island as the children explore a shipwreck and hunt for treasure. When their Uncle Quentin decides to sell the island the race is on to find the gold ingots before the villains take it for themselves!

 

I really enjoyed this book. I found it fun and exciting. I want to read other Famous Five books and read all about their adventures.
