FIVE ON A TREASURE ISLAND by Enid Blyton.
Enid Blyton's Famous Five is a classic.
This is the first volume of the 23 Famous Five books and establishes some basic groundwork, like the characters.
JULIAN- eldest and the mature one. he cares a lot about his siblings
DICK- Funny and adventures type
ANNE - youngest and loves to play house
GEORGINA - the hot-tempered girl who wants to be a boy and prefers to be called George
TIMMY - adorable and funny dog. He is the action hero of the whole series.
Julian, Dick, and Anne discover they have a ten-year-old cousin they have never met -George. We also get introduced to Kirrin Island and its remarkably well-preserved castle. The four don't get along at first but they become friends after quite some time.
The action centres on the island where the children find a treasure map. Unfortunately, they hear the island is going to be sold. They try to take the gold before the island is auctioned off.
Apart from the story, we get to know Aunt Fanny- a caring woman and Uncle Quentin- a hot-tempered scientist and disciplinarian, Alf -a fisher boy. ( his name changes into James further in the series probably due to faulty proof-reading )
