Second in the series ... very cool :-)
Since I've been reading these out of order, it's cool to now fill in what I've missed. I've been wondering how old the children are now ... the boys are older than the girls and the girls are still quite young.

Such a great little series :-)

It's strange to think that there's a whole series of Enid Blyton books that I haven't really read - just a couple of titles out of order. Having collected them in the UK, I never got a chance to read them then, so I'm gradually making sure of them now. Somehow they don't grab my attention like the Famous Fives, which is probably why they're less popular, but I am fascinated by the level of detail Blyton goes into with regards to Jack's interest in birds. For a Blyton book, there is a surprising amount of detail devoted to Jack's abilities and his dedication to his passion for birds.

One of the most fascinating aspects of this book for me was the description of Jack working out how to create a hide and setting up his camera, gradually accustoming the eagles to his presence and to the click of the camera. I found myself filled with admiration for the way in which he finally captures brilliant images of the young eagle learning to fly. All of Blyton's main characters tend to be clever and capable, but there is rarely a mention of anything that might suggest a future career or a particular skill. Even in this series, so far only Jack shows what he has in him as a person and what he might achieve. I think I shall enjoy reading this series for that aspect alone. ( )

Oso, oso, oso zirraragarria izan da.
Emozio asko sortu zait eta baita beldurra ere!!!! ( )
