... reading with my 10 year old daughter...

Adorable. I've read these books as a child and now I'm reading them with my daughter. She loves them just as much as I do.

Definitely one I have read before, but one which I had completely forgotten about. This is a short story where the children go on another adventure and they end up getting involved with a troupe of performers, 'barnies', who are frequently travelling the area doing shows with horse puppets and more.
There is a mystery to solve when a mysterious light seems to be shining to tempt ships onto the rocks. There is also a smuggling situation and the five aren't quite sure what to believe and who is actually involved.

2.5*s overall.

The fun they had and the danger they faced wowed me as a kid. I wished and wished to have been born as their friend.
Famous Five taught me a bunch of things… For starters, always be ready for an adventure! They also taught me to not underestimate little girls. How many times has little Anne saved their lives? Also, I realized early on that there will always be someone trying to dictate your life, but it is important to be true to yourself no matter what.
Must read for kids.
