“If a person doesn’t like dogs, especially a dog like our Timothy, then there really must be something wrong with him.”
The Famous Five return to Kirrin Cottage for the Christmas holidays but find that they must endure tutoring from a stranger who Uncle Quentin hires. I really don't understand why George (and Timmy) were the only ones who found him sketchy, he was clearly up to something right from the get-go.
Really liked how most of the mystery took place in the cottage and the nearby farmhouse; much more snug than the first book. As soon as Uncle Quentin's papers go missing it is downright obvious that it's the tutor Mr Roland, and the rest of the book literally just consists of George trying to convince the others that it is; it was very relieving when she finally got to prove it at the end.
Loved all the mysterious maps, sliding panels, and secret tunnels - this is exactly what the Famous Five are about, a classic adventure!
