Good old Secret Seven

Something strange was happening in a far off ruin of a castle. Had it not been for the telescope that came handy for the Secret Seven it would not have been discovered. Once piqued, it was no stopping the seven adventurers who tumbled onto something yet more serious. With their dog Scamper in tow, Peter, Janet, Jack, George, Colin, Pam and Barbara resolved to get to the bottom of the mystery while the ever annoying Susie and Binkie posed some additional problems. What were being continuously guarded at the castle? Why residents jackdaws were unsettled? Was there a wailing spirit? Or is it something more sinister? To know all these the book is a must read for the young readers. But I will say that this birthday present of my son gave some merry moments of nostalgia that was refreshing as well as enjoyably thrilling. This book had the smell of the school days when detective fiction at its enjoyably best were offered by the authors who wrote solely for the young dreamers.
