Since I felt that my 10 year old son’s English needed to be improved and because he loves reading adventure books, I decided to buy him some titles which I had read when I was his age. I bought a book by Enid Blyton entitled The Secret Seven. He finished the book within 3 days and is already asking for the rest of the books in the series. For those who have never read The Secret Seven before, I’m sharing my review here.
The Secret Seven is the installment before the Secret Seven’s adventure takes place. The Secret Seven is a secret society headed by, Peter. The book tackles on the mystery which is happening within their society from missing animals and people to robberies. They accomplish their mystery solving by shadowing, interviewing and by doing detective work. In this book people will get to know the members of the Secret Seven and what roles in the society they play as well as how they solve mysteries they come upon.
If you’re trying to encourage reading, The Secret Seven is an ideal book to start any tween with. The story is not too long and the English is well written, easy to understand but yet at times, one can also discover and learn new words. This book of adventure and mystery will make the reading experience fun, enjoyable and you’ll look forward to reading the other titles in the series too.

I too liked The Secret Seven series when I was a child. In fact, we often fantasized of turning ourselves into The Secret Seven in our quixotic attempts to confront armed robbers that were terrorizong our neighbourhoods since they had more detective qualities than The Famous Five, who were considered to be more of adventurers than detectives per se. Thus, my fascination with Enid Blyton and her books led me to write and publish a book on her, titled, The Famous Five: A Personal Anecdotage (www.bbotw.com).
