Five Get Into Trouble: Book 8 (Famous Five)

Product Information

Her books have sold over 500 million copies and have been translated into more languages more often than any other children's author. 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. Just out of curiosity I scanned one of the books for mentions of food and sleep and it turned out that they appeared on more than 45% of the pages.

It's scary and dangerous, but Richard is determined and finally manages to get to a police station, after a thrilling chase.

After Dick gets captured, they manage to locate the house where he is being held, and sneak in to attempt to rescue him only to discover that they are trapped inside the grounds and that there is no way out. Pada buku Lima Sekawan kedelapan ini, Julian, Dick, Anne, George, dan Timmy melancong naik sepeda karena Bibi Fanny dan Paman Quentin harus pergi menghadiri konferensi. Besides, having Richard with them complicates things, because there is the possibility that the rogues will free Dick when they realize they got the wrong boy, but if the others show up with Richard they might all be in worse trouble. The story relies on the conceit that it is impossible to escape the grounds when the gates are shut. Richard's father says his son acted very foolishly, and Julian agrees but then says that he redeemed himself by his bravery and determination during the escape.

When Dick gets kidnapped after being mistaken for a boy named Richard, the others set out to rescue him and soon find themselves involved with desperate criminals, stolen diamonds, and escaped convicts. The author put a lot of brainpower into her little story and there are a couple of foreshadowing events. When Dick is mistaken for him and kidnapped, by Rooky, a dangerous criminal who had been a bodyguard in the Kent household, the children know they have two leads: Owls Dene on Owls Hill, and a Black Bently – KMF 102. Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years.The others manage to track Dick to an isolated house with a wall around it and automatic gates that are worked by some mysterious non-electric (as far as I can tell) mechanism in the house. A large old manor can lend plenty of atmosphere because all kinds of strange happenings can take place within the confines — apart from any legitimate activity which might be on offer. Then they meet Richard Kent, the somewhat spoiled son of a millionaire, who joins them using some lies, and after that the adventure soon starts.

All of this comes apart when he is spotted by one of his father's enemies, and Dick is taken instead to use as a ransom. Her first attempts at writing were rejected by publishers which just made her more determined to succeed.

After George's parents, Quentin and Fanny, depart for some scientific conferences, the Five embark on a cycling and camping holiday.

And as George Bernard Shaw said: "Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself. Bearing in mind the amount of written books, it's understandable that they often come across as pure line work with a lot of page-filling content.Enid had some magic formula that kept kids hungry for her books, and I'm not exactly sure what it is, but when I was 12 years old I was hooked. The remaining members of the gang (plus rich Richard) aren’t going to take that lying down, though, and they set off to rescue their abducted pal. It is even suggested (though remember that the Five never actually grow up) that Julian, and possibly the others, will no doubt join the police force when they have finished school. 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. I'm listening to the whole series with my disabled daughter and it seems to be entertaining her pretty well.
