Five Go Adventuring Again: Book 2 (Famous Five)

Product Information

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.

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. 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. 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

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. 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. 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. According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare. I enjoyed reading about their little Christmas celebrations, and it was inspiring to see how they band together against a common enemy.

Di umur sekarang kayaknya aku udah nggak cocok buat baca buku anak-anak, tapi Lima Sekawan: Beraksi Kembali masih bisa membuatku bersemangat dan terhibur dengan kasus misteriusnya. Bener, loh! Yaaa, emang sih aku sebel sama kelakuan Anne yang super polos dan George yang gampang pundungan. Tapi Tim menyelamatkanku dengan tingkah lakunya yang lucu dan setia dengan teman-temannya. Lucu, ya, anjing bisa ikut berpetualang gini. Lalu penemuan jalan rahasia ini juga menarik, apalagi jika dihubungkan dengan ketidaksukaan Tim pada Pak Ronald dan kedatangan dua seniman ke Kirrin Farm. Aku sempet tidak yakin dengan teoriku, tapi petunjuk-petunjuk kecil mulai bermunculan dan saling mengaitkan hal-hal tersebut dan aku pun jadi excited sendiri! 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.

I can see why kids have loved these books for decades! I wish I had had such fun adventures in my own childhood! 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. Uncle Quentin's important "scientific work" is highlighted in this one. The book was written during the second world war and although the men who are trying to steal Uncle Quentin's SECRET FORMULA aren't identified as German spies ... that's who they are. Similarly, when they're hauled off at the end there's no hint that they were probably shot a week later!

Timmy is deployed in his usual Swiss Army knife dog mode, capable of almost any feat and able to down his enemies without actually ripping large chunks out of them. 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!Famous Five Slipcase (1-5): "Five on a Treasure Island", "Five Go Adventuring Again", "Five Run Away Together", "Five Go to Smuggler's Top", "Five Go Off in a Caravan" 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.

The other central issue is that of the Secret Way - which is a secret tunnel that for no apparent reason joins Kirrin Cottage to Kirrin Farm. It seems to be a vast and pointless feat of engineering. It doesn't even have smuggling potential. Five Go Adventuring Again (published in 1943) is the second book in the Famous Five series by the British author, Enid Blyton. Plot 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. Forgotten the title or the author of a book? Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you. Visit BookSleuth 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.

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!’ 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! :) 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 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.
