The Secret Island

E-Books > Enid Blyton Series > Secret Series > The secret island



Peggy and her younger twin siblings Mike and Nora are living with a harsh aunt and uncle after their parents are thought to have been killed in a plane crash. In this first adventure, aided by Jack (a local orphan boy), they run away to live on a deserted island on a nearby lake. They build a house made with the branches of a willow tree and bring a cow and some chickens across, to provide milk and eggs. They adapt well to life on the island, however, they have to act after some day-trippers visit and nearly discover them. The local police are also still looking for them and Jack is almost caught when he goes ashore to sell produce at a local market. On one of his trips though, he overhears news about the missing parents of the other children. The novel was originally written as a serial and, in 1938, published as a full-length novel. It was one of Enid Blyton's earliest adventure novels, preceding The Famous Five, The Five Find-Outers, The Adventure Series, The Secret Seven, and school books which would appear in following years.
