Get Access Five Get Into Trouble (Famous Five, #8) Assembled By Enid Blyton Accessible Through Document

Fünf Freunde auf Fahrradtour, eine Entführung aus Verwechslung passiert zwei Hörspielfolgen später gerade nochmals und dank heldenhaftem Julian endet alles gut das erinnert mich gerade an das TKKG Tim ist der Beste Schema.
War ganz okay, aber der spätere ähnliche Fall tick besser,This offering in the Famous Five series was a solid and sometimes brilliant entry as far as enjoyment goes, There had to be some coincidences, And there had to be a secret room, There always is!

I thought that Enid Blyton was at the top of her game, If anyone new to the series would set the ball rolling with thisth book, that would be fitting and welcome,

The pacing is out of this world, The four kids and dog are going off on their bikes, on a trail, But a new rich spoiled kid upsets the applecart by wanting to join them for selfish reasons,

This is a must read middle grade book, The author put a lot of brainpower into her little story and there are a couple of foreshadowing events, One detail struck me, the mention of a certain Mr Luffy, That's the earliest instance where my moniker is mentioned, in literature, Toodleoo. This book was aboutchildren who were on a holiday and they wanted to go somewhere else without their mum and dad or granny and when they were on their way Dick got kidnapped then the otherchildren tried to help him but they were too late and got trapped in Owls dene.
I only gave this book one star because I dint really like it because there were loads of chatting and I didnt really like the cliffhangers.
reading with myyear old daughter, . .

I've read all these books way back when I was a child and I've read them numerous times, I thought it was time to show them to her,

This one was absolutely thrilling! My aunt just gave me an old copy of this book after I graduated from university.
Why Because she remembered that this particular book was probably my very first favourite book, I used to loan in from the school library ALL THE TIME, it was literally going back and forth between me and another student from my sister's grade.
I was probably in like betweennd andth grade at the time, and when the book was too tattered from use, the school librarian gave it to me.
Sadly, I lost my copy some time in the years after, as I moved a couple of times, I couldn't stop laughing at the gift, it was so thoughtful and I'm excited to have this back in my book collection for good.
Oh, the nostalgia! For their eight outing, Enid Blyton has called the book Five Get Into Trouble, No, dont worry. Our heroes havent hit puberty, Julian and Dick havent got a girl pregnant, Anne isnt pregnant, and nor is George, That is just as well, as it would be a severe blow to her attempts to pass herself off as a boy,

No, this is just the standard trouble that the Five get into, It begins with the Five staying with Quentin and Fanny, Georges parents and the uncle and aunt of the other children, It would seem that once again the Kirrin parents have proven adept at offloading their children for the summer,

Quentin and Fanny are less skilled at getting rid of the children, but this time they have found a solid excuse to avoid their duty of care to the minors under their supervision.
Quentin has a conference, and of course Fanny must prioritise her husband over the care of several underage children in her care,

Fortunately the Five have decided they would like to go on a cycling holiday which will involve camping out, Quentin is keen on the idea anything to get rid of the children and insists they will not get into trouble,

Lest we forget this is the Fives third camping trip, On their first one, they got into trouble with thieves, On their second trip, they got into trouble with black marketeers, even though they had an adult looking after them,

One might think this would deter their parents from agreeing to let the children go off on their own, but no.
Any excuse to take the Five of their hands is ok with the adults, Still it is fairly unlikely that yet another camping trip will end with the Five getting into trouble, right

That reminds me, Ive forgotten the title of this book.
Let me look again. Five Get Into Trouble. Oh, brother!

So our heroes set off with plenty of provisions and camping equipment and of course ginger beer, There must have been a larger supply of ginger beer in Enid Blytons time than is found nowadays, I wondered what happened to it, Maybe the Five drank it all,

As ever, the Five encounter a young boy who gets to join them for this one adventure only, Somehow it is never a girl, This one is called Richard, Hang on dont we already have enough Dicks in the Five, and Im not counting George

Normally the guest boy is socially inferior to the Five, but this time Richard has a wealthy father.
Richard is rich, you might say, I wonder if that

is why Blyton called him so,

However he is not superior in personality to the Five, being something of a spoilt brat who makes trouble for his parents and bodyguards, and he is also a coward.
So I guess Blyton sets a medium standard for our heroes, Poor children are not in the same class as the Five, but rich children are brats,

The ideal is for children to come from parents who are only wealthy enough to own islands and with treasure, and to have enough resources to furnish their children with bicycles and camping equipment and food and money and ginger beer enough to last for two weeks.
That is the optimum economic bracket for producing great children,

Usually the guest child has an awful father figure who is a criminal, However another rule of Famous Five stories is that rich people are not criminals, Just as in an Agatha Christie novel, the murders are purely the preserve of upper class and upper middle class characters, so criminal activities in the Famous Five are carried out by lower and lower middle class folk.


So the criminal activities this time are the result of a former bodyguard that the bratty Richard antagonised, and who has a grievance against the family.
Richard flees from his pursuers, but they encounter Dick instead, who is repairing his bicycle while Anne climbs a tree,

As the pursuers do not know what Richard looks like why send men who dont, they assume that Dick must be Richard.
Ah, so those similar names did have some importance after all, If only Dick had a nearby sister up a tree who could verify his identity,

Unfortunately Anne a, k. a The Load is as useless as ever, She stays up the tree too terrified to speak while the kidnappers take Dick away, When the rest of the Five and the cowardly Richard return, they must seek out where Dick is being hidden away,

Fortunately they find out on their first attempt, Much scorn is heaped on the luckless Richard for being frightened of a vindictive former employee, but I think I would have been scared in his position too.


The Five get into the lonely farm where Dick is held captive, but unhappily find they cannot get out again, The automatic gates are closed, and now they are prisoners, Naturally the criminals are an unpleasant and ugly lot, one of whom is a hunchback called Hunchy gosh, how does Blyton think up these names Its a gift, I guess.


Fortunately our criminals are more inclined to bluster than do anything violent to the children, George suffers a minor injury, Julian engages in his favourite brand of passive aggressive abuse that somehow doesnt earn him a thick ear,

The criminals attempt to poison Timmy the dog, because criminals always do, However Timmy has had so much experience of attempts to poison him that he can probably trace more types of poison than Hercule Poirot.


In the end, Richard redeems himself by taking part in an escape plan that will bring help, and just in time as he was due for a beating the captors words, not mine I think the Five are also due for a beating.


The Five are fulsome in their praise of Richard, “Richard, youre nice and I didnt think you were,” Anne tells him, After his departure, Julian intones, “I suppose even the worst coward, the most despicable crook, the most dishonest rogue can find some good thing in himself if he wants to badly enough” Ok, perhaps the praise wasnt that fulsome.


This leads to a chapter without the Five where Richard is on his own, Gosh, the polyphony of different voices, Its just like reading a James Joyce book, Then rescue comes, and extra complications are included by the location of a secret room, which is a second cousin to the secret passageway usually found by the Five.


And thats Book Eight, I must give credit to Blyton for offering up a storyline that is significantly different than the ones so far, We havent had a kidnapping or the Five trapped by criminals before, If Blyton pulls her punches and does not cause the Five to suffer too much that is understandable given the age of her target audience.


Overall it is pleasantly sinister book with a darker tone than usual, Surely after this adventure none of the parents will allow the Five to go off unsupervised on any more holidays

Who am I kidding The temptation to have a few weeks peace from their own children will soon overcome any qualms and the Five will have plenty of new adventure.
There arebooks after all, .
