FAMOUS FIVE: 10: FIVE ON A HIKE TOGETHER (STANDARD) Paperback

A weekend hike in the countryside turns into something far less restful in the tenth Famous Five adventure, where a chance encounter sets Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy on a search of their own. Hachette India's standard paperback keeps the book at about 150 pages, printed plainly and sized for a school bag. Blyton built the series around self-reliant children, open landscape and problems the adults around them have missed, and this instalment uses walking as its engine: new ground each chapter, a night away from home, and clues that only make sense once the group compares notes. The result reads quickly and rewards a child who likes to guess ahead. What it brings to a collection: • Tenth entry in the Famous Five series, readable on its own • Outdoor setting with maps, moors and country lanes in play • Roughly 150 pages, light enough to carry and re-read • Plain paperback format that stands up to being passed around Suits independent readers aged around eight to twelve and classroom libraries, published by Hachette India and stocked by Boipoka.
