Five Run Away Together

by Eileen Soper, Enid Blyton · 1942

When the Famous Five—Julian, Dick, Anne, George (Georgina) and their loyal dog Timmy—decide to escape the watchful eyes of their summer caretakers, they set off for George’s secluded Kirrin Island. What begins as a carefree holiday of swimming, cycling and exploring quickly turns into a mystery when they discover a hidden trunk that has been smuggled onto the island. Their curiosity leads them into a tangled web of secret passages, whispered rumors of smugglers, and a chilling night‑time scream that hints someone else is lurking nearby. With courage and teamwork, the children must uncover who is behind the mysterious cargo and why a child’s cry echoes through the darkness, turning their adventure into a thrilling race against danger.
