SuitabookThe Famous Five collection
Enid Blyton
- Reading
- Try one story at a time, pausing where a mystery is introduced to invite predictions; afterwards, compare them with what the story actually reveals.
- Themes
- Suspicious plans: In Five Go Off in a Caravan, the Five become involved with a circus crowd, and some members are said to have sinister plans. The outline signals suspicion but does not show how the characters or story judge those plans.
- Secrecy and watching: In Five On Kirrin Island Again, Uncle Quentin bars visits to the island, while someone else watches his movements; the Five decide they will have to act. The outline sets up secrecy and a decision to act, without establishing whether that choice is praised or criticised.
- Worth knowing
- Suspense is part of the featured adventures: characters are watched, plans are called sinister, and the Five face uncertainty. The extent or intensity of danger is unclear.
