Recovering from a very bad flu, the four children and their family make a river trip in the Middle East. But there is another reason for this choice of destination: Bill has been asked to watch a crook named Raya Uma. The children soon find another adventure revolving around a magnificent buried city filled with treasure beyond imagination. I know I'm dating myself here, but kids haven't changed much. Dinners (and breakfast and lunch) are immensely important to the young, and one of the key moments in all the Adventure books always concerns them stumbling over a cache of tinned foods that will (phew!) tide them over until help comes.

To be honest, it wasn't reading, it was sharing the adventures with the characters, they did get into some predicaments, ones we all dreamed about getting into ourselves as kids in real life! I got the boxed set for Christmas when I was 40, I read them again. Again when I was 50 and yes, I'll read them again someday. Dinah Mannering: Philip's younger sister of about twelve at the beginning of the series. Like her brother, she has a tuft of hair standing up atop her head, but she shares neither his gift in attracting, nor his love for, animals, especially the small creeping types (mice, insects, snakes etc.). Temperamental as she is, she often finds herself the target of her brother's teasing, but otherwise she is quite level-headed, tough, intelligent and grown-up for her age. This time I read them in German and in English and compare them chapter for chapter to find the differences in the German translation.The Island of Adventure (published in 1944) is a popular children's book by Enid Blyton. It is the first book in the Adventure Series. The first edition was illustrated by Stuart Tresilian. Jenis petualangannya 11-12 dengan Lima Sekawan (((o(*°▽°*)o))) yang artinya: Lorong Rahasia! Gua Persembunyian! Harta!! (✧ω✧) ...atau minimal sesuatu yang berharga [̲̅Rp(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅✧]

And then there's the casual racism. There's some genuine room for debate on Blyton's intentions in this regard; by the end, much of what seems at first to be casual racism from Blyton is revealed to have been Blyton's assumption of, and attempting manipulation of, the reader's own casual racism; and so I'd be reluctant to start burning effigies purely on the evidence of this book. Following the events in The Ship of Adventure, Bill marries Mrs Mannering and adopts all the children as his own. The children call him Bill Smugs due to the fact that he introduced himself under that alias on their first adventure. Dulu pas SMP dipinjemin seri Petualang ini tapi yang vol.6 ...dan karena waktu itu juga sudah baca Lima Sekawan, STOP, dan Trio Detektif, rasa-rasanya keempat tokoh utama di seri ini jadi kurang meninggalkan kesan~ Enid Blyton (1897-1968) πραγματικά δε χρειάζεται συστάσεις. Είναι η συγγραφέας που μας χάρισε αξέχαστες στιγμές ανάγνωσης και μας σύστησε ευρηματικές παρέες παιδιών που ζουν περιπέτειες, λύνουν μυστήρια, ταξιδεύουν, κινδυνεύουν και χάρη σ’ αυτούς περνούσαν ευχάριστα και όμορφα οι εξωσχολικές μας ώρες. Ποιος δεν έχει διαβάσει τους Μυστικούς 7 ή τους 5 φίλους, ποιο κορίτσι δεν έχει ονειρευτεί το Σεν Κλερ ή το Μάλορυ Τάουερ; Έτσι λοιπόν οι εκδόσεις Μίνωας επανακυκλοφορούν τη σειρά «Περιπέτεια» ξεκινώντας από την αρχή. Φύγαμε για «Περιπέτεια στο νησί»;Thanks to a German friend at elementary school I discovered Enid Blyton's Adventure series and Famous Five series in the fall of 1965 and reread them from time to time even now in my sixties.
