The Famous Five books were a staple part of many of our childhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nostalgia of growing up in the English countryside is heavily romanticised and I think that’s what made them so popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do feel a pang of sadness when I see tattered books like The Famous Five at second-hand book sales. But then I also think that story has probably been a seminal part of one (or more) child’s childhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a particular look a parent gets when their child finishes the last Famous Five in the house. Half pride, half panic. You handed over your own childhood and they’ve inhaled it in a fortnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me (as a bit of a foodie) I loved her descriptions of food. But other elements of these books are also what make them special, like the kids getting together over the holidays to camp, hike or take day trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are books like The Famous Five?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing modern gives you Kirrin Island exactly, because nobody writes children with that much freedom any more. What you can get is the rest of it. A gang with a job for everyone (The Great Greene Heist<\/em>), a crime solved by kids while the adults look the other way (Capture the Flag<\/em>), a heroine who’d have George’s respect (Alice-Miranda At School<\/em>), and a lone detective with more nerve than sense (Half Moon Investigations<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of them sit with our mystery books for 9 year olds<\/a>, and I’ve sorted them by which bit of the Five your child is actually hooked on. Plus the Blyton to read next, because there’s more of it than most people realise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a Famous Five book actually is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Four children and a dog, a holiday, and adults who are conveniently elsewhere. Then a puzzle nobody else has noticed. It’s a wholesome Scooby-Doo against the backdrop of the English countryside (kind of). In Five Go Off To Camp<\/a> it’s trains that vanish into thin air in the dead of night. In Five Run Away Together<\/a> it’s a locked trunk on George’s island and a child’s scream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone has a role. Julian leads, Dick backs him up, Anne keeps the camp going, George does whatever she likes, and Timmy finds the clue. The peril is real but never nasty, and every meal is described like buried treasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern books do those things one at a time rather than all at once. So the question isn’t “what’s the next Famous Five” so much as “which part does my child want more of”. That’s how I’ve sorted this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best books like The Famous Five<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Great Greene Heist by Varian Johnson<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/div>

The Great Greene Heist<\/p>

Varian Johnson<\/span><\/span>Age 9<\/span><\/span>Mystery<\/span><\/div><\/div>›<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n

The gang-with-jobs-for-everyone book, and the one I’d go to first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson Greene swears he’s given up scheming. Then school bully Keith Sinclair announces he’s running for student council president against Jackson’s old friend Gaby, and Keith has connections to the principal that could win it for him whatever the vote says. So Jackson assembles a crew. Hashemi (the tech genius), Victor (the bankroll), Megan (the science whizz) and Charlie (the reporter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s Julian, Dick, Anne and George with a plan and a school to save. The gang runs the show and the grown-ups never get a look in. For confident readers of 9 and up, and very much a series opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capture the Flag by Kate Messner<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/div>

Capture the Flag<\/p>

Kate Messner<\/span><\/span>Age 9<\/span><\/span>Mystery<\/span><\/div><\/div>›<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n

If what they love is the Five cracking it while the police are still scratching their heads, this is the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna, Jos\u00e9 and Henry have never met. They’re snowed in together at a chaotic Washington airport when the news breaks that the famous flag behind “The Star-Spangled Banner” has been stolen. Anna is certain the thieves must be snowed in too, so she recruits the other two to find them. There’s a mysterious tattooed man, a flamboyant politician and a poodle named after an ancient king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three strangers who become a gang over one long night, which is the Famous Five origin story in miniature. A snowbound airport makes a surprisingly good Kirrin Island. Best from 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice-Miranda At School by Jacqueline Harvey<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/div>

Alice-Miranda At School<\/p>

Jacqueline Harvey<\/span><\/span>Age 9<\/span><\/span>Mystery<\/span><\/div><\/div>›<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n

If George is the reason they love the Five, start here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones can’t wait to start boarding school. The minute she arrives at Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale Academy she senses something is wrong. The headmistress is nowhere to be seen, the gardens have no flowers, and a stranger seems to be hiding somewhere on the grounds. And she has three difficult tests to pass just to be allowed to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s small, fearless, and completely unbothered by grown-ups who tell her no. It’s a long series too (she’s off to the skyscrapers and hot dog carts in Alice-Miranda In New York<\/a>), so this one solves the “but what’s NEXT” problem for a good while. Reads well from 8, sweet spot 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half Moon Investigations by Eoin Colfer<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/div>

Half Moon Investigations<\/p>

Eoin Colfer<\/span><\/span>Age 9<\/span><\/span>Mystery<\/span><\/div><\/div>›<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n

The funny one. Same mix of trouble, a lot more jokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fletcher Moon has been stuck with the nickname Half Moon because of his height, and he’s had a nose for sniffing out mysteries since he was a baby. After graduating top of his internet detective class he’s officially the youngest detective in the world, silver-plated badge and all. Then a classmate hires him to solve a crime, his badge is stolen, and every clue points at the town’s most notorious crime family (the Sharkeys).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before long Fletcher is framed himself and has to team up with the last person he’d choose. One for a 9 year old who likes their mysteries with the jokes left in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew: Earth Day Escapade by Carolyn Keene<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/div>

Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew – Earth Day Escapade<\/p>

Carolyn Keene<\/span><\/span>Age 8<\/span><\/span>Mystery<\/span><\/div><\/div>›<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n

The younger-sibling pick, for the 7 or 8 year old who wants in on the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

River Heights Elementary is putting on an Earth Day parade and Nancy’s class gets to build the float. They’ve worked for weeks collecting recycled bits to decorate it. Then someone sabotages the whole thing days before the parade, and Nancy, Bess and George want to know who.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three friends, one mystery, short chapters, and a stack of them to work through (the Clue Book<\/a> series sits alongside it). Think of it as the Secret Seven with an American accent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two more worth a look. The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow<\/a> (Sophie and Lil, a London department store, a priceless stolen sparrow) is the closest thing to a modern book with a vintage feel, and Jingle<\/a> (from the Swindle series) has Griffin Bing and his friends stuck volunteering at a Christmas extravaganza when a priceless possession goes missing. Both would be great for a 9 year old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Blyton first?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Very possibly. Most families only know the Five, and Enid Blyton<\/a> wrote three more gangs who do the same job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secret Seven are the younger cousins, with a shed, a password and smaller mysteries. In Go Ahead, Secret Seven<\/a> a sinister-looking man gets George in trouble with the police and the gang start spying on him. Happy from 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Five Find-Outers are the detective version. In The Mystery of The Missing Necklace<\/a> a gang of thieves is using the village of Peterswood as its headquarters, and Fatty’s disguises (a balloon seller, an old man) are better than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Adventure series is the darker, wilder one. The Island of Adventure<\/a> sends Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann, Jack and Kiki the parrot into abandoned copper mines and secret tunnels under the sea, and The Valley of Adventure<\/a> opens with a night flight that lands them somewhere they were never meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want the whole of her mapped out, series by series and age by age, that’s what our best Enid Blyton books<\/a> guide is for. This page is for what comes after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(And if it’s the boarding school they’re after rather than the island, books like Malory Towers<\/a> is the better list.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A word on the old-fashioned bits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reread Five on a Treasure Island<\/a> as an adult and a few things jump out. Anne gets most of the housework. George is only taken seriously when she’s “as good as a boy”. And everyone is very sure who the baddies are the moment they see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children mostly read straight past this. What they come out talking about is the island, the dungeons and the picnics. Not the chores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it does help to know which of the modern books keep the freedom and drop the rest. The Great Greene Heist<\/em> and Capture the Flag<\/em> are the cleanest swaps, with girls and boys sharing the clever bits equally. Alice-Miranda<\/em> is the one that flips George’s problem on its head, because nobody ever suggests she’d be better off as a boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for the child who specifically wants the old-fashioned feel (the hats, the trams, the “jolly good show” of it all) without the 1940s attitudes, The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow<\/em> is the bridge. A grand department store, two girl detectives and iced buns. There’s a whole list of those in our books like Murder Most Unladylike<\/a> guide, which is also the step-up for a 10 year old ready for proper detective fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just so you know…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Little Reads is a digital library app for children aged 5 to 11. It holds 3,000+ hand-picked books (the Famous Five and every book on this page included), it’s \u00a37.99 a month after a 7-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime. A free account gives you 100+ free books to try first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re a library rather than a classroom, so it isn’t the app for phonics or learning to read. It’s for the child who’s already finished the box set and is asking what’s next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
