This was one of the first full novels I read as a child and that cover will stay with me forever.

This book is what awakened my reading and writing senses.

Never had I  craved adventure so much on bike rides with lashings of ginger beer until The Famous Five came into my life. Oh how I wanted to discover smuggler’s coves and pirates treasure.

Suppose there’s nothing stopping me now … I have a bike, I have ginger beer (normal and alcoholic too) and I live by the sea. Hmmmm …

  1. I can remember reading The Famous Five with my torch under the bedclothes. The only reason I even had a torch was because of those books. The Famous Five all had one so I asked for one for Christmas

    • Haha looking back it made me want one too! There was something so exciting about owning a torch and going on an adventure. I always wanted ginger beer and it never seemed to be around. I’ve made up for it since I discovered Fentimans and Aldi x
