Five on Treasure Island by Enid Blyton
4.0
Another read from back in 2019- thank you mum for showing me this series!
Five on a Treasure Island—the book that made every kid want to find a hidden cave, befriend a dog, and solve mysteries with their cousins instead of dealing with school. Seriously, why did Enid Blyton make childhood adventures seem so much cooler than real life?
So, we’ve got Julian, Dick, and Anne visiting their cousin George (don’t call her Georgina unless you want to get wrecked), plus Timmy the dog, who is obviously the real MVP. They stumble upon a shipwreck, a hidden treasure, and some highly suspicious adults who are way too invested in an old island. Naturally, the kids outsmart everyone, because grown-ups in these books have the IQ of a soggy biscuit.
The story is fast-paced, full of excitement, and gives off major every-summer-should-be-like-this vibes. Sure, the dialogue is a bit old-fashioned, and Julian acts like he’s applying for the role of "bossy older brother of the century," but it’s still a fun ride.
When mum said we had Scooby Doo at home, I'm glad it was this series.
