Thoughts

I feel like this one took a long time to get to the actual adventure part - the gang were apart to start with and had to get together, then find a farmhouse to live in, then meet all the residents, then do some touring, and finally, get to the good stuff. It did have the bonus of horrid other children that our gang took against which is always fun, and the mystery plot about an old castle was fun.
