Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy the dog find excitement and adventure wherever they go in Enid Blyton’s most popular series.

The most famous racehorse in England is being trained in Kirren, and the Famous Five are eager to watch. But when the horse bolts the friends need to think quickly to make sure he isn’t lost or injured.

The whole of England is depending on them!

In addition to the Famous Five novels, Enid Blyton wrote a clutch of short stories based on the characters. These were published in magazines and collected in the Famous Five Short Story Collection (Hodder). For the first time, the complete and original text of Well Done, Famous Five (1956) appears in an individual volume, illustrated with brand new colour art by Jamie Littler.

It could be non-fiction or fiction but I liked it as it was very adventurous and exciting as this book is filled with such interesting scenes and my favourite character was George as she is really funny in a scene and the part where a horse escaped was really cool and I would recommend this to someone as it is good for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a bit interesting but I don't get why the horse ran away! Julian is my favourite character because he is the oldest and he is smart.

I would recommend it to people who are independent and who think they are heroes.

I love famous five because it shows so much adventure and the way the story is written the characters never give up.( They also show so much enthusiasm ).

I quite like this book because it is all about 4 people and a dog. They make the famous five. There is a famous race horse. George ( real name Georgina- but she doesn't let anyone call her that), cleverly brings binoculars and spots lovely racehorses. One is called 'Thunder-Along', who goes missing. He is very valuable.

The children went on a picnic and they had binaculours the horse was running away. I liked it when the boy saved the horse and took him back to the owners. This is a non fiction book.
