Reviews

The Week Junior
This book is so exciting you'll want to play detective yourself
The List (Glasgow & Edinburgh)
As the first set of 'grown-up' books I ever discovered I could read on my own, the Famous Five have a very special place in my heart. I still remember running through to my parents' room to tell them I could read well enough to go adventuring with the Five without their help. And with 21 books in the series, I had plenty of escapades to look forward to!
Alexander McCall Smith, The Sunday Telegraph
I thought this series was wonderful. It struck me as a great injustice that they were having adventures and I wasn't
