Five Go Adventuring Again: Book 2 (Famous Five)

Product Information

Although the story is mostly focused on the plot, there is a bit of character development for the siblings and their cousin. I especially liked that the children gain the trust of the adults through their truthfulness and honesty. 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. This book does exactly what it says on the tin and the real star is Timothy the dog; he really gets a chance to shine this time. 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.

I enjoyed this one, even though the mystery doesn't happen until three quarters of the way into the book. We have an old farm house and a secret passage. Timmy comes to the rescue again but he has a hard time in this story. Kedua anak laki-laki itu tahu bahwa George memang kadang-kadang konyol dan berwatak sulit, apalagi jika ada orang yang mengatakan tak suka pada anjingnya. Tetapi menurut pendapat mereka, Pak Guru Ronald pun seharusnya menunjukan pengertian yang lebih besar." – halaman 69 I enjoyed reading about their little Christmas celebrations, and it was inspiring to see how they band together against a common enemy. I enjoyed the mystery of the plot and all the adventures the children have, but the plot was a bit slow. Thankfully, the writing is so charming that I didn't mind the slow plot. The clues for the mystery are unraveled bit by bit, and the direction of the mystery was very obvious, so I got a little impatient to just get on with it, since I had already guessed what would happen. But it was enjoyable to see it all unfold! I can see why kids have loved these books for decades! I wish I had had such fun adventures in my own childhood!As mentioned in my review of Five on a Treasure Island, I began my "Enid Blyton Project" recently, in response to an article which listed Blyton as the sixth-most popular author in the world. As someone with an interest in children's literature, I thought it behoved me to familiarize myself with so prolific and popular an author in the field. I cannot say, after reading upwards of twenty titles (Blyton authored more than 800) that I am overly impressed with her prose, but there is no doubt that this kind of formulaic series fiction fulfills an important role in the development of reading skills in most children. 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. Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's. 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. I can see why this series is such a classic. I kept reading references to the Famous Five stories in books by British authors so decided it was time for me to read the series! I'm glad I did! These are children's stories and a bit dated, but very enjoyable tales! There are 21 books in the series, published from 1942 through 1963. Then there are eight short stories added in 1995. Five Go Adventuring Again is the second book in the series. I still have a lot of reading to do! :)

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. I think George is my favorite character. She hates to be called Georgina and has a bit of a temper. She absolutely loves her dog, Timothy. And woe to the person that dislikes her dog! :) Five Go Adventuring Again (published in 1943) is the second book in the Famous Five series by the British author, Enid Blyton. Adult interference is curtailed, empowerment and decision-making encouraged and these crucial elements underpin the plot of each of her works, balancing the unfortunate sexism and racism endemic to the era in which she flourished. I could empathise with poor George in this book. I'm quite stubborn myself and I would probably react the same way if I had a tutor like Mr. Roland. It was so obvious that he was up to no good, I mean, Timmy wouldn't even shake hands with him.The Five have to have tutoring over the Christmas holidays because of illness. It snows heavily and they can't get out.
