The Mountain of Adventure
Enid Blyton
The Mountain of Adventure is the fifth thrilling instalment in the Adventure series by Enid Blyton, one of the best-loved children’s writers of all time.
Surely a peaceful holiday in the Welsh mountains will keep the children out of trouble! But the mystery of a rumbling mountain soon has them thirsty for more adventure.
Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann, Jack and Kiki the parrot are determined to explore the mountain and uncover its secret, but first they must escape from a pack of ravenous wolves and a mad genius who plans to rule the world!Reviews
Okay, I’ve read The Mountain of Adventure twice now, and I’m not even mad about it—this book is that good! The suspense never gets old, and every time I read it, I catch something new. The kids’ climb up the mountain is such an intense journey, and Blyton does such a great job of making you feel like you’re right there with them, battling the elements and uncovering secrets. It’s packed with adventure, danger, and mystery, but still has that lighthearted charm that makes it so fun. Honestly, if you love a good, nail-biting adventure, this one’s a must-read!

The story was very amusing but slightly too weird.

Such a good book but probably for older readers. My favourite character is Philip as I love animals and so does he

The Mountain of Adventure is a brilliant book. It's full of mystery and of course adventure. This book is full of excitement plus it was fun to read. My favourite character was Snowy the goat kid because she's full of energy and on the front cover she looks really cute. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

This book is wonderful, mad scientists, pits in the mountain that make you float and secret contraptions! My favourite part is when the dogs turn on the bad guys.

I like Jack best and I think Kiki is very funny. My Nana and Grandad have an African Grey parrot called Kiki, he is a bit naughty too. My Mum and Dad have read me the set of 8 books to begin with. this is the first one I have read to myself this summer.

I enjoyed the book and I thought it was funny when the dog licked Philip's face. The book was also a little scary when the king of the mountain saw the children and when the soldiers found the children who were hidden behind the curtains. I recommend other children who are 7+ read this book.

A scary, mysterious book where the children are abandoned.

The Mountain Of Adventure. This book is a delightful read, I loved it (and still do)! With rumbling, steaming and mysterious mountains this is the best book for any adventurer who knows what it's like to have wolves chase after you and to be a prisoner by a crazy mountain King. This king believes that he can create wings that will defeat the power of gravity (they don't work though). My favourite character is Dinah, she loves an adventure just like me. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK, YOU WILL LOVE IT.
