Five On A Treasure Island

A shipwreck off Kirrin Island piques the curiosity of the intrepid Five. When they hear tales of hidden treasure, their excitement knows no bounds. Armed with determination and courage, the Famous Five set off in search of clues. However, they soon realise they are not the only ones hot on the treasure's trail. With danger lurking at every turn, will they be able to outsmart the enigmatic treasure hunter?

Five Go Adventuring Again

When a thief makes his mark at Kirrin Cottage, the Famous Five find themselves tangled in another mystery. Their investigation leads them to uncover an old map and an unusual hiding place, suggesting a much larger conspiracy at play. Racing against time, they must gather enough evidence to unmask the culprit and restore peace to their beloved cottage.

Five Run Away Together

Chaos ensues when mysterious strangers trespass on George's island, and a child's scream pierces the air. The Five uncover a locked trunk that might hold the key to the island's secrets. Convinced they are on the trail of a smuggling ring, their pursuit of the truth puts them in unexpected peril. Can their unyielding spirit lead them to solve the mystery and bring the miscreants to justice?

Immerse yourself in these timeless adventures where the boundaries of courage and friendship are tested.
