This collection features three classic mysteries from Enid Blyton's beloved "Five Find-Outers and Dog" series, ideal for children aged 8-12. The main story, "The Mystery of Banshee Towers," sees the children exploring a reputedly haunted stately home, uncovering an art forgery plot. Also included are "The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage," their very first case, and "The Mystery of the Disappearing Cat," where they clear a friend's name. These stories emphasize teamwork, clever deduction, and the thrill of discovery, all while navigating a world where children solve problems independently. Parents will appreciate the clear moral compass and engaging, fast-paced plots.
Three stories in one book, about the Five Find-Outers. Book 15 - *The Mystery of Banshee Towers* Ern is back visiting Mr. Goon, which gives him and the Find-Outers the perfect chance to explore Banshee Towers. But there's more secrets to the towers than the screaming banshees. Fatty, Larry, Daisy, Pip, Bets and Buster the Dog have one last case to solve. Book 1 - *The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage* Fatty, Larry, Daisy, Pep, Bets and Buster the dog turn detectives when a mysterious fire destroys a thatched cottage in Mr. Hick's garden in their village. Calling themselves the 'Five Find-Outers and Dog' they set out to solve the mystery and discover the culprit. The final solution, however, surprises the Five Find-Outers almost as much as it surprises Mr. Goon the village policeman. Book 2 - *The Mystery oft the Disappearing Cat* Lady Candling lives next door to Pip and Bets, and owns some very expensive cats. When her most famous cat, Dark Queen, goes missing, the gardener's helper, Luke, seems the obvious suspect. The Five Find-Outers must solve the mystery to clear the name of their friend, Luke.
