4.0 out of 5 stars The first adventure!, 13 Jan 2008
By Mehajabeen Farid "mej_farid" (Coventry) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
`In this, the Seven's first adventure together, Jack's adventure on a snowy night leads them to an old house, a deaf caretaker, and a thrilling mystery!' is the blurb of the first book of the Secret Seven series, and I like the part when one of the members forget one of the other members, as shown here: "Let's see--we want one for Pam, one for Colin, one for Jack, one for Barbara--who's the seventh of us? I've forgotten." The answer is George! The first mystery is about the old house opposite there own. There is a thief in there apart from the deaf old caretaker of the house!
As a first book in a series, this story is quite light and simple, but a lot of fun. It neatly paves the way for a series of similar but more involved stories to come. I would rate this book: 7/ 10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stories to read to five year olds!, 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: "The Secret Seven", "Secret Seven Adventure", "Well Done, Secret Seven" (three books in one) (Hardcover)
My five year old daughter loved these first three Secret Seven books. We both looked forward to bed time so we could find out what happened next. Peter, Janet and the rest of the gang are fun and easy to relate to, ideal friends. The adventures and exciting but not too scary. One does get the feeling that the stories were written a few decades ago, as no mother today would allow their children to run about the country side as these kids do, but that lends to the adventure as well. We recommend these and have purchased them for friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Review for Parents of Developing Readers, 27 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Secret Seven (Paperback)
This is a great book for children who are moving beyond very simple short chapter books to more extended reading. For any parent who is worried that their child will be put off by the increased number of lines per page, you will find there is no real need for concern. The text is quite simple, and your child will get so involved with the story that they will not notice the increased length of the reading. Be warned though that the style of speech used by the children in the story is rather stilted and old-fashioned by today's standards - ie the language style is upper middle-class British. On the other hand, it is always worthwhile exposing your child to a range of writing styles.

I beg to differ with the reviewer who recommended the book for ages 4 to 8. If you like to read aloud to your child, I would suggest the book is suitable for ages 6 to 9. Alternatively, the book is suitable for any reader who is about to take the bold step from a short chapter story to a longer chapter book. This book will give your child greater confidence in his or her reading.

"The Secret Seven" is the first in the series of Secret Seven books by Enid Blyton. The title is virtually self-explanatory, involving a club, adventures and mystery. The plot is complex enough for your child to enjoy, yet not so complex that you need to continually explain nuances. The benefit of this is that your child will be able to read the book with far greater fluency.

I hope this was of some use to you!
