The Enid Blyton Society

How about:
Five Dig in Emerald Isle?
I must say though, there was nothing about an Emerald Isle in the blurb.

The Emerald Isle is another name for Ireland.

Sorry to confuse you, Mehul. 'Cuig Go Bragh' is Irish for 'Five Forever'. 'Erin Go Bragh' (= 'Ireland Forever') was a rallying cry for the Irish seeking independence in the late 19th Century and early 20th. Century. I would not expect you to know that.

I'll give it to Domino...... on the off-chance that Enid Blyton's books might also be published in Gaelic! But don't worry, Farwa, you can read the original English version....


Give it a go, Domino....

Thanks, Darryl. I certainly wasn't expecting that. It was only a tongue-in-cheek suggestion. The rules don't actually suggest that the author of the blurb should chose the title they like best, though that might perhaps be more logical.

Anyway, here's a new blurb for you all:

Julian, George, Dick and Anne, accompanied by the faithful Timmy, go for a nature ramble in the woods. They get carried away spotting all the various fauna and flora and they manage to get lost. George gets the feeling that someone or something is following them. Timmy starts growling. Anne gets frightened. Julian says it's just their imagination; but is it? Soon they find themselves in great danger.

Dave

My thanks for your understanding, Dave.

Anyway, how about (maybe too obvious?)......

"Five Get Followed In The Forest"?

Sounds fine to me, Darryl. Your turn to write the next blurb.

Dave

Lessee....


After a long while of no peculiar goings-on happening in their local community, Peter & Janet decide to call a meeting of the Secret Seven. The other children, and even Peter & Janet's golden spaniel Scamper, seem excited at the prospect. Yet, when everyone arrives, there is no mention of any crime, mystery or other peculiarities happening. The other children are confused. So.... why *did* Peter & Janet call this latest meeting of the Secret Seven??

How about,
"Secret Seven in a Mystery Meeting".

To paraphrase a WLIIA scene:

GREG PROOPS (as "gameshow host Johnny Polagra"): "I'm going to go to our judges..."
CLIVE ANDERSON (playing along): "Uh... that's good enough for me."

Your turn, Farwa....

All right, then:
The Five Find-Outers have not found even a trace of an adventure throughout the many weeks of the summer holidays. There is only one week of holidays left, and just as they all feel the rest of the days are going to be absolutely dull, Fatty's mother discovers her emerald ring stolen, and things begin to happen...

Too obvious but still,
The Mystery Of The Stolen Ring

Your turn to write the blurb then, Darrell.

Ahh, right.

Phillip and Jack receive a letter 2 days before half term from the girls. It tells them to meet them for an overnight stay in an old, abandoned lighthouse midway between the 2 schools to stay overnight during the half term weekend. The boys sense that something is up, but when they arrive at the lighthouse, they find only a teary eyed Dinah. She tells them a strange tale that somehow ended in Lucy-Ann being kidnapped! The boys, especially Jack, are very worried, and Dinah has not seen Lucy-Ann's kidnapping. A search for clues reveals a small, crumpled note which has 'ship, lightho-' written on it in Lucy-Ann's neat handwriting....
