3.5 stars This was a fun adventure set in Scotland during WWII. Three siblings set off with a friend to sail to a nearby island. When a storm comes they are blown off course eventually making it to a remote uninhabited island with their boat damaged and stuck on rocks. After doing all the sensible survival and trying to be rescued activities, (which after reading many Blyton books we are well versed in) the children decide to explore a nearby island. To their surprise they find (view spoiler)[ a cave packed with food and German submarines lurking nearby (hide spoiler)] The rest of their time on the island is spent avoiding capture, gathering evidence and escaping. This did follow the usual Enid Blyton formula, and we didn't enjoy this as much as others we have read by this author, but WWII did add an interesting element to the story.
