“Five Go Off in a Caravan”.

But as this was a German printing, it's known as “Fünf Freunde beim Wanderzirkus”. ]

Correct :). (And again I think the English title is better.)

This book contains several books of a series so you'll just have to guess the correct series.

I'm guessing that's got to be Malory Towers, since the school has towers! ;)

That's the correct series - but which book is it? (I've got to admit that it isn't very obvious.)

1st term at Malory Towers....i got the impression that she is a bit young from that picture.

You're right, it's First Term at Malory Towers or "Darrel is searching a friend" as in the German title.

What about this bunch of children?

No. (The series is right - that's probably no surprise as there are two boys, two girls and a parrot on the cover :lol: )

I guess it has to be Sea, although it looks more like a 'take' on one of the pictures in the original MacMillan book of Island.

I would say that was The River Of Adventure.

Regardless of which book it is (I'd also guess River if it isn't Sea, the illustrator has made Kiki into a compatriot of mine (and one found right where I grew up, too) — a Gang-Gang cockatoo!! :D :D :D

(The only snag there being that a Gang-Gang with a red head is always male — females have a grey head — but don't tell Kiki that... :P :wink: )
