Famous Five
(Five On A Treasure Island)
It is a very interesting book. The book is about four
siblings. In this very first book, we meet
Julian, Dick and Anne looking forward to a summer holiday at their Uncle
Quentin’s place called Kirrin Cottage near the sea. They are meeting their
cousin Georgina for the first time. But, they are surprised to find a cousin
who hates being a girl and would not answer unless addressed as George. After some days, the cousins start getting on and for the first
time in her life George learns the joy of making friends and sharing her
possessions, the most precious being her hidden dog Tim, an island not far from
the coast on which they live and an old wreck of a ship lying at the bottom of
the sea. The island and the
ship once belonged to George’s great- great grandfathers on her mother’s side
and are rightfully hers. Little George took her cousins to the island. While
they were on the island, a storm broke out and the wrecked ship got placed on
the rocks near the island. The kids climbed on the ship to explore and behold,
they found a small antique box with a treasure map. However, their uncle sold
the box to an antique dealer and soon he got an offer on the island. The
children decided to go to the island and discover the treasure before anyone
else did. And at last they found the treasure. I strongly recommend all my
little sisters and brothers in the Primary classes to read and enjoy this book.
