Five Go Down to the Sea by Enid Blyton

Throughout the Famous Five series, one of the features has been how much food they eat. Blyton really leans into it this time as they end up on holiday staying with a farmer’s wife who cooks literally everything in sight and wants to feed them up as much as possible. Meanwhile there’s an adventure to be had - they’re in Cornwall so naturally it includes caves and smugglers and all that jazz. Plus a new friend called Yan.

Someone Like You by Roald Dahl

Another collection of Roald Dahl short stories. There are some real classics on here, although I think as a whole the collection in Kiss, Kiss is better. There are, of course, the stories that stay with you but there are also those that sort of passed me by and already I’ve pretty much forgotten them.
