Who drank all the ginger beer?

Hermione is quite the Famous Five fan. She’s very into the Secret Seven come to that too. She’s devoured them all, and finds it ever so frustrating that Enid is no more and consequently there will be no more to add to the collection. She’s tried the Boxcar Children but they just don’t quite hit the same note.



Anyway, such is her passion that we are having an Enid Blyton tea party soon. Looking for inspiration on the food front I had a quick Google and was dismayed to learn that the Famous Five have been re-vamped - cream buns and lashings of ginger beer having been replaced by pizza and mobile phones.

Have these people never heard of leaving well alone? If it ain’t broken don’t fix it. There’s plenty out there that does need fixing. In my humble opinion the Famous Five should not be up on there on the ‘fix list’.

We're working our way through the secret seven books at the moment and really enjoying them.
Aparently the mystery series is good with the five find outers - maybe H would like that?

Thanks for that Hannah. I'll check them out.
