How about....

"When Secret Seven become Six"?

.

.

Now I'll let someone else come up with the next blurb. As I write this I'm about to turn in for the night:

GEORGE: "Good night."
ANNE: "Sleep tight."
DICK+JULIAN: "And mind the bedbugs don't bite!"

Are you sure, Daanton, that anyone else can write the next blurb?

If you've had the fun of inventing a title for someone's blurb, I'd say it's only fair that you then come up with a new blurb!

Well, if Daanton does not do it in the next two days, I'm going to write the next one - the thread is going lower and lower, and if it isn't rescued quick, it's going to go on another page!

All right, it is high time this thread is revived. Here is my blurb:

The Famous Five are staying at Julian, Dick and Anne's house this year. The holidays seem completely ordinary until Dick notices some people sneaking in their yard one night. Julian, Dick, George and Anne set out to find the reason why they are there, and find themselves headfirst in an adventure involving long-lost treasure, secret caves, and a lot more!

Ummm... could you come up with another title? This one does not seem very suitable to me. Besides, you forgot your blurb.

Lessee....


Julian, Dick, Anne, George (& Timmy) are vacationing in Ireland where—along with shelter at a friendly farm owned by distant relatives of Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny—they discover a old hilltop shack with a secret entrance to a tunnel underground leading to the ruins of an ancient Gaelic castle. But they're not the only ones to have discovered this treasure and its treasures; a couple of ageing graverobbers do as well! Can the Five save the ancient castle from being pilfered?
