Worth a read for teenagers. Review on Secret Seven Series, The - Enid Blyton

Enid Blytons' style suits teenagers. Writes in simple English. The tales revolve around a set of seven teenagers and a trustworthy dog. The teenagers live close by and are a secret gang off seven called secret seven. They undertake missions involving espionage mostly by chance and not design.

Writing style is very simple and lucid. Easy to understand. Plots are intriguing and hold readers interest till the very end. Involved readers emotions.

The teenagers parents are unaware of the escapades of their childer. They think they are school going obedient children. Most of the projects are executed in summer vacations.

One such plot involved a gang of thieves who used to steal dogs and later sell them. The secret seven gang is able to locate the hideout and inform the police. In the episode they narrowly miss being captured by the gang itself.

The plots are inspirational for todays youngsters. It teaches us to be always alert and vigilent. I always used to look forward to new relases of secret seven. But as I grew up my interest weaned a bit and I moved on to more serious stuff like Robert Loodlum.
