Second Prize
The Famous Five series written by the British author Enid Blyton is one of my favourite book series and the Five Go To Mystery Moor is one of my favourite books. At the beginning of this story, Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy spend their school holidays with Captain Johnson in his riding school. Half way during their stay, the children come across a party of gypsies who are camping on a moor and they become involved in a dangerous adventure.
I like this story because it is full of suspense and it creates a scary atmosphere. The five meet with many trials due to the treachery of the gypsies, but their courage and unity helps them to overcome their enemies.
