Book Summary: The Secret Island by Enid Blyton The Secret Island, written by Enid Blyton, was the first book in the Secret Series. Akin to the Adventure Series, the Secret Series features a group of children, namely Mike, Peggy and Nora, who was being mistreated by their aunt when it was thought by her that their parents were died from a plane crash, with Jack, who live miserably with his grandpa, escaped from their family and lived on a secret island found by Jack. The group of children, themselves, had quite a peaceful time without interruption from the outside world. Not only could they keep themselves with enough food by fetching hens and, later, buying food in the town with their money gained by selling farm produce on the island, but also did they lay out with all sort of plans for fear that someone looking for them would come to the island one day. Unexpected visitors did come to the secret island. Once was when all children were having a picnic on the hill, the very first time for visitors to visit the island since the children were on the island. Their unwelcomed visit, of course, was enough to stir a panic in the midst of their picnic. Urgently the visitors had left the island under the raging of storm, much to the children’s relief. The second visit to the island was shortly after Jack was nearly caught while selling wild mushrooms in the town. The police searched on the island as part of an intensive search for the children in the region. The search on the island was later call to an end for the police could not find the children, who were hiding in the cave at the moment. The story was ended with Jack found the parents of Mike, Peggy and Nora by chance and informing them of their engaging adventure. The parents of Mike, Peggy and Nora then visited the island with Jack and decided to bring up Jack as a gesture of goodwill for helping the children in the past.
