Secret Seven Win Through (1955) – The Seven are evicted from their shed while it is painted, and find a new meeting place — a cave on Peter and Janet’s father’s property.
They stock the cave with cushions, food, drinks and books, including Colin’s set of Famous Five novels. When their provisions start to go missing, the children suspect Susie; but Scamper later uncovers a notebook leading to crooks and a search for scarecrows.
The Secret Seven is a fictional group of child detectives created by Enid Blyton and based on the publisher’s children. They appear in one of several adolescent detective series which Blyton wrote. The Secret Seven consists of Peter (the society’s head), Janet (Peter’s sister), Pam, Barbara, Jack, Colin and George. Jack’s sister Susie and her best friend Binkie make occasional appearances in the books; they hate the Secret Seven and delight in playing tricks designed to humiliate them, although this is partly fuelled by their almost obsessive desire to belong to the society.
Unlike most other Blyton series, this one takes place during the school term time because the characters go to day schools. Continuing Blyton’s series, Pamela Butchart wrote two new adventures in the series, adding elements of horror.
