Welcome to Litsy!

Enjoyed this jolly little adventure with the famous five… with a proper starring role for Timmy!!

I loved this series as a kid and it‘s been great revisiting them again!

Four children and a parrot want to explore an offshore island in the hope of finding a Great Auk.

Good fun, if not as gripping as I remembered from my childhood. Apparently this was the modernised/bowdlerised version, though I don't remember the original well enough to be able to tell.

It was really most extraordinary.

I very clearly remember reading the Mallory Towers series when I was a child, but at some point in my life, for a long time, I conflated it with the Chalet School series. A couple of years ago, I tried to find the Mallory Towers book that included a visit to Oktoberfest, only to find that it was actually one of the Chalet School books that I was thinking about!

I don‘t think I ever read this one. Good old Secret Seven.

Is it cheating if I read children‘s books in an attempt to salvage my reading goal for the year?

Children plus dog explore the island in the cove where one of them lives and look for treasure.

Pure nostalgia with the book which is my earliest memory of owning a book. Read in memory of my uncle who gave it to me and who died last week.

#doublespin done - another fun Famous Five book - so much food in this book 😆 also I know it‘s old but I found it hard to believe that anyone would let 4 children go off in a horse drawn caravan by themselves 🤯 Good fun - trying to teach Gary to #bemoretimmy
