review 1: I am not the target audience for this book - I am 44 years of age! I'd heard that Helen Moss was doing a modern take on Blyton-style children's adventure stories and was intrigued to see what they were like. So downloaded this to my Kindle.I am well impressed - I read it in a sitting and am sure that 8-12 year olds will turn the pages equally quickly.I would happily buy Ms Moss's books for the children in my life and might well just buy a few more for myself ( as a guilty pleasure!)
review 2: I wasn't aware of these books before last weekend. I'm not the target audience but I'm still a kid at heart so I bought the book out of interest and nostalgia. The cover price was attractive, the cover design is lovely, and I was a big fan of Enid Blyton when I was younger... more. I wasn't disappointed. I thought the adventure was well-written, the dialogue lively, and the characters realistic and charming with just enough of the attitude I remember from the Famous Five and the Adventurous Four, but with an added dash of the contemporary. This is childhood as many of us wish it had been (and wish it still was!). With children apparently turning more and more to the screen and less and less to books for their entertainment, publishers and authors are having to work pretty hard to attract a readership and I hope this series pulls them in. less
