I always preferred the Secret Seven over the Famous Five. Can't remember a thing about them now but it was 50 years ago. Weird though how the Secret Seven seems mostly forgotten in popular culture while the Famous Five lived on.
The secret seven always felt like a more exciting adventure to me. Great stories, although like you I can’t remember them now but I do remember the feel-good enjoyment from reading them.The only thing i do remember though was that they always drank lemonade together! I loved the idea of that!

Enid Blyton's world was certainly a very wholesome one. The only thing i do remember though was that they always drank lemonade together! I loved the idea of that!

Thanks for this recommendation, I'm always looking for interesting and unusual stuff for my 12 year old to read and often it's books from the past that she'd never know about otherwise.
She prefers stuff that's not too (in her words) 'Preachy' and a lot of modern stuff falls down on that (if anyone else buys her another anthology of 'Inspirational' stories for girls I think she might throw it at them).
Anyway, with some persuasion ("Gnomes? Are you kidding?") she read this and loved it, I've just ordered the sequel for her and this book has gone to her friend, who was equally sceptical but I'm told is also enjoying it.
