Summary

Enid Blyton's much-loved classic series, packed full of adventure and mystery.

Why are the locals so afraid of the deserted old castle on the hill? When lights are seen there in a distant tower, Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann and Jack decide to investigate - discovering a very sinister plot concealed in its gloomy rooms and secret passages.

Perfect for fans of the Famous Five looking for their next adventure.

Nostalgic fun

I loved this series as a child. This one seemed to stick in my mind most of all. The castle and grounds and the eagles are lovingly described by Enid, its a good setting for an adventure story. I enjoyed the chapters with Jack left on his up there. Some nice spooky moments.. who is pumping water in the night! The story then builds pace nicely and rattles along with plenty of entertaining moments.
The narrator at times was excellent, though some of the childrens voices a bit cringey at times
Overall, I enjoyed this book 👍

My 8 yo loved this. Working our way through the series!

Liked this one as much as the island of adventure. Loves the characters especially Kiki the parrot! And Bill of course. Kiki's chatter always makes us laugh, "Fusty musty dusty! Pop goes the queen. God save the weasel!" :-). A treat to listen to these books again that I also enjoyed as a child.
