This book, 'Five Go to Smuggler's Top' is my favorite in the famous five series. This book is so interesting to read and its plot is simply marvelous. The Five are sent away to Smugglers Top after a tree blows onto Kirrin Cottage. It is the home of Julian and Dick's school-friend, Pierre Lenoir (nicknamed Sooty), and his family. Once there, they make friends with Sooty and his sister Marybelle. However, Sooty's father would not have dogs in the house so Timmy had to spend his time there in a secret passages. Uncle Quentin comes to stay with them but mysteriously disappears along with Sooty. The Five find a secret passage leading underground to where Sooty and uncle Quentin are held captive with Timmy. They fight off the kidnappers and go back to the house where they realise Uncle Quentin and Sootys father are planning to drain the marshes stopping the smugglers and Block had been put into their household to stop the plans. They call the police to capture the smugglers using Timmy to find them in the underground tunnels. A must read for all those love reading mysteries.
The story goes about how a man named Robinson Crusoe survived on an island for many years without anybody else except Friday. The island was a home to many cannibals. Friday too was one of them. In the novel, Daniel Defoe describes how Crusoe survived, how he got food and water, how he saves Friday from the cannibals, how he taught him to speak. The novel, according to me, has adventures and so is interesting.
