Enid Blyton's Secret Seven meet in a shed with a password and a badge, and the second book in the sequence sends the group after a case of their own.
The society is made up of seven children who gather, divide the work and report back, which gives the stories their shape: notice something odd, watch it, and piece the answer together before an adult does. Blyton keeps the sentences short and the chapters brief, part of why the series has stayed a standard step between picture books and longer fiction. This Hachette India paperback runs 128 pages.
