Review on the book "The Castle of Adventure" by Aashi Gupta

 

THE CASTLE OF ADVENTURE

-     Enid Blyton


        Publisher: Pan Macmillan

        Author: Enid Blyton

        Number of Pages: 272

 This is an amazing book for age 9-12 and is full of adventure, fun and mystery. I would recommend this to any adventure or mystery lovers. This book is set in Scotland and certainly has a Scottish feel to it, with its mountains, castles and golden eagles

Jack, Lucy, Dinah and Philip attempt to figure out what is behind the strange goings-on at a ruined castle near Spring Cottage in Scotland where they are on holiday with Dinah and Philip's mother, Aunt Allie. The four youngsters make friends with Tassie, a mysterious girl living in the woods with her mother. Jack and the others are determined to explore the castle on the hill, despite the fact that the road to it has been destroyed by a landslide and is treacherous. They discover a very sinister plot concealed within its hidden rooms and gloomy underground passages. Along with Bill Cunningham, who appears later in the book the children manage to expose a ring of spies led by the threatening Scar-Neck who are working against the UK Military service.
