The Secret Island
by Enid Blyton
The Adventure Series, The Famous Five as well as The Secret Seven, each have a book dedicated to exploring all the fantasies every kid must have ever had of living on an island off-grid, soaking in the ultimate Robinson Crusoe experience. I remember being giddy with excitement whenever these kids took it upon themselves to UNO Reverse a completely barren piece of land, be it in the valleys or over the mountains, into a temporary shelter that would probably make AD green with envy!
And with these heartwarming scenes, Enid Blyton gave her readers some mystery to munch on to - most notably, thieves illegally smuggling art or treasures to places no police would ever think of searching for - but these children do and thereon begins the actual adventure. Not sure if this is going to be a recurring theme throughout Secret Series since I've only read this one (the first book) so far but I did notice that this one didn't really have that element of children uncovering something fishy. Unlike its counterparts, this probably makes for a lighter read with the book only focusing on how they live on an island instead. Can't lie when I say that I expected that ending. Hopefully Daisy the cow was picked up by the fisherman.
