chris (Japan) (2012/08/16):
Many readers consider "Smuggler's Top" the best in the Famous Five series of books, but you should read them in chronological to enhance the pleasure."Five on a Treasure Island" is vol. 1, "Five go adventuring again" vol. 2 (one of the few FF books that take place in the winter time), "Five run away together" (equally exciting as vol. 1 and 2) is vol. 3 and vol. 4 is "Five go to Smuggler's Top". It takes place in a very old British town surrounded by dangerous moors and with an old town wall. There are secret passages and this book gets even more thrilling than some of the other Famous Five books. Other very good sequels are "Five on Kirrin Island again", "Five fall into Adventure", "Five on a Hike together" and "Five on a Secret Trail" (one of my favorites). Make sure to order an edition that contains the great illustrations by Eileen Soper (too bad that amazon does not give this information).
