Five Go On A Strategy Away Day

Enid Blyton's books are beloved the world over and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans.

The Five have gone on their greatest adventure yet - to become an even better team! They are booked into an exciting hotel right next to the jolly motorway services, where the nice (if somewhat nervous and sweating and depressed) man teaches them a number of exercises that will make them work better.

But wait! Who's been sneaking messages through the hotel dumb waiter about secret assignations? Is there a smuggler's plot afoot? Or is Shelly from Production shagging Postroom Luke? All will be revealed . . .

Ideal for those who are allergic to corporate jargon and will throw a sickie before having to play a trust game with colleagues.
