The Famous Five: Five On a Treasure Island

It all starts with a little island, a ruined castle — and a shipwreck full of secrets.

Julian, Dick and Anne are spending the summer with their cousin Georgina — fierce, independent George — and her extraordinary dog Timmy. When a storm reveals a sunken wreck near Kirrin Island, the five of them discover gold ingots, hidden passages, and a mystery that grown-ups refuse to take seriously. So they'll have to solve it themselves.

This is the book that started everything — the one that first proved that children, when they stick together, are more capable than anyone gives them credit for. George especially is a character who has inspired generations of young readers to be exactly who they are.

The essential starting point for any Famous Five adventure — best read curled up somewhere with a good supply of ginger beer nearby.
