The Valley of Adventure (2000)
You can say what you like about Enid Blyton. You can say that she is horrifically sexist. You can say that all her villains are fundamentally the same: 'tough men', foreign, with 'thick necks' and 'piggy eyes' and with 'a brooding look'. You can say that all her characters are stereotypical and s...
The River of Adventure (2000)
For me, this is definitely the weakest book in the 'Adventure' series. There is nothing wrong with it as such, but there is also nothing original or unique to this adventure. The setting of the middle-eastern river is not as vividly or as excitingly realised as most of the others, and nothing hap...
The Mountain of Adventure (2015)
This one is totally weird, seriously. It was ok but I'm not so into this set of Enid Blyton kids. Like usual, the girls are totally non-descript and that whole no personality thing is kinda boring.

The Ship of Adventure (2000)
This book would have been a good, fitting ending to the series (as everyone knows, it was originally written as the final book) as the treasure hunting adventure and the Mediterranean locations manage to live up to the high standards of the premises and settings of the previous two books, if not ...
The Circus of Adventure (2000)
This is one of my favorite Enid Blyton books. One of the reasons I like this book a lot is becausewe finally have a story that moves out of Britain, Scotland and Wales. For a person who has read a lot of Enid Blyton, the typical English country side setting was getting quite monotonous for me. Va...
The Island of Adventure (2000)
Philip and Dinah Mannering and Lucy-Ann and Jack Trent have had the best of luck in being allowed to spend summer break together at the Mannering’s home – a castle, actually – Craggy Tops. They spend most of their time crawling along the beaches and hills and cliffs near Craggy Tops looking at bi...
