I've heard about Blyton for years - about what a huge influence she was and how decades of kids have grown up on her so I thought I would try.

Not that it was a bad book but it just never caught my interest.
Admittedly I am not the target audience but I actually enjoy quite a few kids series (The Great Brain, The Three Investigators, Brains Benton etc.) so I do know what works for me and what doesn't.

This one is a pass for me.
If the books interest you or intrigue you then by all means have at it but for me there are just too many good books our there to read average ones.

After a long time, I finally got to start the adventure series and i felt it was worth it ... the plot is acceptable for a bunch of early teens ... first of all they are not portrayed to be super human kids who can do more than we can imagine... but just a bunch of curious georgies :) acceptable for their age ... and lucky at the end :)

Can wait to continue the series ...

Nolēmu pārbaudīt, ko tad esmu jaunatnei iegādājusi lasīšanai, un jāatzīst, ka tiku patīkami pārsteigta - tiešām aizraujošs gabals, un tie pāris robiņi sižetā nav pārāk traucējoši :)
