Thoughts

Penultimate book, and this time the Five are dispatched to a holiday cottage to stay with a young boy. There’s another mysterious island with secret treasures to be found and that’s the main plot of the book, but I liked the asides - George having to deal with someone else getting on with Timmy, and the gang clearing up a golf course and ingratiating themselves with the neighbours. Fun times, one more book to go!
