The Secret Seven are Peter and his sister Janet, Jack, Barbara, Pam, Colin and George. They form the Secret Seven Society - ready to solve any mystery, any time. They have a secret password, a badge, and a secret meeting place in a garden shed. Jack’s sister, Susie, has a lovely new aeroplane, and the Secret Seven and Susie go off to fly the new plane. Sadly it flies across the field, and over a wall into the grounds a very big house, which is closed up while the owners are abroad. So Peter and Jack climb into the grounds of the large house to get the plane. There, they see a gas fire on inside one of the rooms. Who is living there, and why? Looks like the Secret Seven have another interesting case to solve. Enid Blyton (1897 - 1968) is one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors. Her books have been translated into over 90 languages and are still enjoyed by children and adults all over the world.
