The Ship of Adventure is the sixth exciting instalment in the Adventure series by Enid Blyton, one of the best-loved children's writers of all time. An amazing voyage around the beautiful Greek islands becomes an exciting quest to find the lost treasure of the Andra! Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann, Jack and Kiki the parrot are plunged into a search for hidden riches – with some ruthless villains hot on their trail! Will they find the treasure before it’s too late? As always, the kids are sick and have to go to a warm setting to recover from illness. The ship does not refer to their going on a ship to travel, but their finding/buying a small ship in a bottle. The folk story that ties in with the ship in the bottle sends the kids on the adventure. and the kids have to figure out who the "bad guys" are with the requisite help from Bill,and figure out the secret of the ship in the bottle to find the treasure. It is one of the better books in the series. A ship, a treasure map, a deserted Greek Island, a nasty treasure hunter and his feckless son... all add up to one of the best 'Adventure' books. This adventure also includes a pet monkey as well as Kiki the parrot - confined for much of the time in a small cabin with a porthole. The mind boggles as to what state this cabin was in after a few hot days cruising but fortunately the ships motor conks out and the children get to explore the local islands in a bid to find the ancient lost treasure on the abandoned island of Thamis. My 6 and 8 year olds remain enthralled. Penulis: Enid Blyton Penerbit: Macmillan
