Jack, Lucy-Ann, Philip, Dinah and Kiki are off on another adventure this time they begin with a trip in an aeroplane with their friend Bill but soon matters take a dramatic turn when they become trapped in a remote valley. They find they must fend for themselves until they await rescue. But they aren't ones to sit around before long they are in the midst more intrigue which involves perilous risks, but that doesn't stop Jack, Lucy-Ann, Philip, Dinah and Kiki.

Another fun adventure and Enid Blyton freshens the story so it in no way feels repetitive. I especially like the fact that for most of the time the children are entirely independent of adult supervision and influence so make their own decisions and carefully work things out using common sense and talking things through. Great description of the surroundings and a real sense of pace gallop the story along. Great fun. My only quibble I am not so keen on the idea of burying tin cans but that's bringing modern day environmental concerns into it which isn't fair.
