FIVE ON A TREASURE ISLAND:-



The book's lead characters are 2 brothers and a sister, Julian, Dick and Anne and their cousin Georgina,  with Julian being the eldest, Georgina and dick being of the same age, and Anne being the youngest. Julian, Dick and Anne meet Georgina for the first time in their lives in this book and they are at once fascinated by  her. They come to know that despite being a girl, Georgina wants to be seen as a boy and not as a girl. This is because she hates being a girl, as she does not like the things which girls do and rather likes the things that boys do. And she hates being a girl so much that she even wants her name changed from Georgina to George and wouldn't even reply to you if you call her Georgina. And since from the beginning she did not get on well with other people, she only ever had 1 single friend. And guess what, it ain't  a human, it's a dog! The dogs name is Timothy (Timmy for short) and George loves him dearly and considers him her best friend. And guess what else, George's family even has a  private island of her own!(Well, with all these traits, who wouldn't be fascinated by her)

At the beginning, they don't get well with each other, but eventually they become friends and go on to solve some of the most breathtaking riddles which we see in the upcoming books.

From the peculiar cousin to the mysterious island, from the short tempered Uncle Quentin to the sweet natured Aunt Fanny, from the terrifying storm to the shipwreck at the beach, from getting trapped in the dungeons to the discovery of a secret map, the book is filled with such great moments, with some moments being extremely funny while some other moments being very spooky !!!.
