Editorial Reviews: From Library Journal Grade 2-5-Originally published in 1942, this title is from the British children’s mystery series The Famous Five, written by Enid Blyton. Despite a good dramatic reading by actress Jan Francis, the story is quite dated and contains sex-role and cultural stereotypes that would make even the most politically incorrect cringe. Sensitive, fearful, pouty Anne sticks close to tomboy George (short for Georgina) while the boys, Julian and Dick, take the lead in initiating most of the action in the story, which includes teasing the girls. The only appealing character is George’s dog, Timmy, the fifth of the Famous Five, but even he seems to think that girls are silly and boring and sneaks off at night to explore an abandoned railroad yard with the boys. More evidence that this is a relic from bygone days is the hard-to-believe premise that children would be allowed to go off on a practically unsupervised camping trip with a forgetful, eccentric schoolmaster. The whoops and scalpings of a game of “Red Indians” further doom this offering. Skip this anachronism and choose something worthwhile from the growing body of genuine children’s literature in audiobook format.Mary Ellen Aureli, Lewiston Porter Elementary School, Youngstown, NY Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. –This text refers to the paperback edition.

The Five Little Peppers and the Bobsey Twins are alive and well and living in England. Enid Blyton’s Famous Five series throw groups of spirited British children together for adventures that are often dangerous but always lack violence, blood or gore. The Famous Five–four cousins and a dog–mix boys and girls, all somewhere between the ages of 8 and 13 years old in adventures. In FIVE GO OFF TO CAMP the Five foil a black market smuggling ring by sneaking around in an abandoned train tunnel. The childish voices reproduced with crisp British accents by Francis are beguiling. In fact, the cheerful, plucky tone of this actress’s readings is the most appealing thing about this volume, adding life and believeability to the pedestrian writing and unlikely plot twists. M.C.
