The Six Bad Boys quiz :)
That's one of my favorite Blyton stand-alone books along with The Secret of Cliff Castle and House-at-the-Corner.
So - I just thought that I must do a quiz!
Okay - here's my question:
When Donald and Jeanie go to the Summerhayes, what is the first thing that surprises them?

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen.

Re: The Six Bad Boys quiz :)
Oh, come on! You just posted the question today, you can't expect an answer the very day, almost half an hour after posting it! Give it a few days!!!
I think the answer is the shouts and rough voice of Mrs Berkeley. I'm not sure, but I think it's correct. I'll give a question a bit later.

Re: The Six Bad Boys quiz :)
It's Enid Blyton and it is titled, A Note for the Reader from the Author...

Why is Bon angry with his mother (clue: it is beacause of a visitor)

Sorry, wrong answer. I meant the Foreword, not Note From The Author.

Umm...my edition doesn't has any foreward, Ming, only Enid's letter.
I own 2003 Award edition of the book (illustrated by Gleenn Steward).

Mine doesn't too - it's a 1974 Armada paperback.
Still, I should think there are plenty of people out there whose edition DO have the foreword - we aren't alone in playing!

Re: The Six Bad Boys quiz :)
Umm - I think your are right. In Anita's review of the book, she mentions the foreword is written by someone called Basil Henriques.
Thanks Anita!
I hope my answer is correct, Ming!

Bob is angry with his mother, I think because of Mrs Adams...
My Q:
How do Tom & Bob get caught in the cinema?
