Format:Paperback
This story plot is quite different to the normal storyline in the Secret Seven series, although it is a bit similar to one or two of the Famous Five books.
The adults in the stories normally don't let the kids get involved in the books but this time, the children are asked to help and get involved after a girl goes missing and there is a theft, of all the money, from the school she went to before disappearing.
So where exactly is Elizabeth? And has Peter finally gone a bit crazy after cracking so many mysteries? Do the Seven manage to solve this puzzle with sparse clues?
As the ninth book in the series, this story is quite impressive and compared to the rest, it is very good: it is excellent. It neatly paves the way for a series of books which are alike but more complex storylines to come. I would definitely rate this wonderful book: 8.5/ 10.

What a shame
26 Jan 2000
Format:Audio Cassette
I second the comments made by the reviewer above. I can still remember reading The Secret Seven and Famous Five books when I was a kid and praying that I too somehow will be transported to their world and relive all the adventures that they've gone through. I came in here looking for Ms. Blyton's books for a gift to my niece but I was doubtly dissapointed that they are mostly out of print. Harry Potter and the like are nice books but nothing compares to the Secret Seven and Famous Five series. Read one and you'll know what I mean.

it is indeed surprising that enid blyton doesnt seem to be in vogue any longer, infact her books which made many a long summer afternoon fly are not even available today. her variuos mystery and adventure series, incl famous five, secret seven, five findouters, the adventure series starring kiki the talking parrot, the r's mystery series with miranda the monkey and snubby the scallywag, and ofcourse her inimitable school stories the St Claires and Malory Towers and all timeless classics whcih i enjoy even today. i will be happy to chat to like minded readers

This Book Took Me Back To My Wondrous Childhood!!!And It's Better THan Harry Potter!!!
13 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
I remember reading this book when I was about 7 and I was instantly hooked on The Secret Seven and their marvellous adventures. From then on I saved my weekly allowance of $2.50 to buy all of Enid Blyton's books which I still have. Reading this book today takes me back to my childhood where in my imagination a half built house could become a Medieval Fortess and a creek could become a Raging River.I suggest you give this book to your children and if their attention spans have yet to be corrupted by 3 minute flashing videos on MTV they will love this book.Harry Potter has nothing on The Secret Seven. They really ROCK!!!
