Synopsis
Enid Blyton's books are beloved the world over and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans.
Now, in this new series of Enid Blyton . . . for Grown-Ups . . . George, Dick, Anne, Julian and Timmy confront possibly their toughest challenge yet: parenthood . . .
‘We’ll get the hang of it,’ said Julian. ‘There has to be a knack to this parenting lark.’ But despite his jolly words, his cheeks were hollow and his eyes were empty.
Bringing up a baby would surely be kid's play for The Five. How hard could it possibly be?! When the doorbell rings one Saturday afternoon, the last thing the Five were expecting to find on their doorstep was a baby.
But the Five are next of kin to Cousin Rupert and his wife, so when they find themselves in a spot of bother and are destined for a short spell behind bars, Anne, Dick, George and Anne are the first port of call. First, it's the fear and the tiredness that kicks in . . .
They are terrified at being responsible for this new life and have no idea they're doing it right. Why is it crying? They use Dr Google constantly, who whatever the situation offers the same range of advice from 'don't worry about it' to 'rush her to the A&E'. 'Why is she crying?' they constantly ask. 'Why?'
It keeps them up all night every night, until they are reduced to walking ghosts, haunted by a numb and impotent fury. Is this an adventure too far for our Five?
