Bleak and eerie, Mystery Moor is well known for its spooky atmosphere, but is there something really scary out there? The Famous Five are intrigued, but the unfriendly travellers camped on the moor aren't letting on. The gang risks treacherous conditions to follow them over the moor -- but what danger will they find at the end of their trail?
Wow, did Blyton have some sort of traumatic experience with Travelers? She seems obsessed with them, the go-to villain in almost all of her novels. Nothing else here strays far from the Famous Five formula either.
This book was a bit darker than books past, but I liked it. I liked old Ben, the Blacksmith's tale, and I like how the story came together.
I wish that George and Henry would've gotten along better, and that George would grow up a bit, but I did like the book quite a lot.
This is the first Famous book I've actually not read, in the past, so I came to the book with an open mind.
