These are such comforting and nostalgic reads and it is always surprising how many things I forgot about considering this was like the only thing I read when I was little. I can't wait to continue on the series and see what the five get up to next.

In what universe the parents of a kidnapped child would let her sleep on the island she was held captive with some people she just met after being found, I do not know but it was sweet how much she was excited by this. I love being with the five on their adventures.

I dunno I guess reading this as an adult Edgar doesn't seem so much one of the bad guys as he might have when I was younger. It was still lovely that the five managed to rescue the little girl though and it all being revealed at the police station in front of Uncle Quentin was quite funny.

The five mooing at Edgar is one of the most memorable aspects of the entire series for me. I particularly enjoyed the first part actually when they were planning the escape to the island. Mr Stick was an absolutely horrible man, Mrs Stick was slightly more bearable as she at least cared about her child. I didn't like Edgar at the beginning because he was just being annoying.

I have been reading this for an absurd amount of time considering how long it is. That isn't because I didn't enjoy it, just because I have had so much other stuff I needed to read for uni that I kind of abandoned what I was reading before. This book very much lives up to the first two and I loved the whole adventure with the sticks.
