Thoughts

I quite liked this one, it feels like the adventures are getting a bit more dangerous as the kids are just that little bit older. They continue to go off out and about without parental supervision which I find amazing, but this time they are joined by a friend, Richard, who ends up effectively getting them all kidnapped. It had a locked room vibe, because they were in a house and had to figure out how to get help and/or escape. Quite fun!
