I only recently discovered this series, and I wish I’d known about it as a child. I quite enjoyed it! In this first book, you are introduced to siblings Julian, Dick, and Anne, their cousin George (the ultimate tomboy), and her dog Timmy. I wasn’t expecting the fifth of the five to be a dog, but he turns out to be a pretty important part of the team. I thought this was a great little adventure story with some twists I didn’t expect, and it holds up well nearly 70 years after it was written. I’ll have no problem listening to/reading more of these.
