Five Get Into Trouble: Book 8 (Famous Five)

Product Information

Gaya terjemahan edisi yang saya punya bikin saya merasakan nuansa 1970-an (walau sebenarnya seri ini terbit tahun 1940-an). At one stage Julian shows that he's a Jolly Good Egg when he gives some money to a woman who works at Owl's Dene and this small incident happens just before the kids experience a frustrating shock. Even though the children are suspicious of the inhabitants of the house, Julian does manage to speak to the maid that works there, and further shows her kindness. Desperately, they track him down to a sinister old house in the middle of nowhere - and he's safe and well! Rooky's associates chase Richard on foot in Middlecombe Woods, where they mistake Dick for Richard and kidnap him.

And it doesn't get better as there are definitely many plot holes in the described adventures (they hadn't the bag with food within reach, but still managed to eat without going back to get it; etc.

This is another one of those Enid Blyton books in which the five escape without a scratch in their body. Even after her death, her endearing stories continue to draw the rapt attention of children everywhere. However, trying to work out their ages around this time is all but impossible (at least for me) because Julian and Dick go to the same school, and George and Anne also go to the same school. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

But there are so many really good children's books out there that definitely deserve more attention than this overrated and outdated series. I'm listening to the whole series with my disabled daughter and it seems to be entertaining her pretty well. One of the Famous Five's most enjoyable adventures as they run into trouble during a seemingly enjoyable bike tour in the English countryside during the Easter hols. This offering in the Famous Five series was a solid and sometimes brilliant entry as far as enjoyment goes.It's true that they are in a desolate area, far from the closest village, but still it's kind of a strange decision, considering how eager Julian is about keeping Anne out of danger. but they don't know quite what to make of the children, and they keep them prisoner but allow them to roam the property to a certain extent.

The beginning reminded me of Five Go off in a Caravan, because the children get to go on their own for their holidays. Petualangan mereka dimulai ketika bertemu seorang anak bandel dan cengeng bernama Richard Kent yang ngotot ingin bersepeda bersama mereka.

This book has all the elements required for a thrilling Enid Blyton story including the Uppity and Undisciplined Outsider who needs gentle guidance onto the right path .
