The Five (Anne, George, Julian, Dick and Timmy the dog) are back on an adventure again! Now they’ve gone to their friend’s house, a house full of secrets – Smuggler’s Top…
There seems to be some signalling going on, and some kidnapping and smuggling. But who kidnapped Sooty and Uncle Quentin? Was it Block, the weird servant of Mr. Lenoir, Sooty’s father? Was it Mr. Barling, a well-known smuggler? Or was it Mr. Lenoir himself? There are a lot of bad men to choose from as you get further into the book…
Timmy had to be hidden as Mr. Lenoir did not like dogs. He was hidden in secret passages, and it’s quite likely something will happen to him too – but will something happen…or not?
Do you think that Anne, George, Julian and Dick can try and help find the prisoners? Even with Sooty’s sister’s help?
