Review of 'Five Go Off to Camp' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

After 7 of these, it seems like the series is running out of steam. This is exactly the same as most of the others (apparently, the countryside was crawling with smugglers in the 1940s), exactly the same plot but with far less going on than the others. This time they went camping and found smugglers right underneath them. Wait, that other time they also went camping (except they were in a caravan) and also found smugglers right underneath them. The characters are pretty terrible (I'm a girl, I like cooking and washing up. I'm a boy, I want to have an ADVENTURE.)
