Really enjoyed this book (my copy has the Rebecca Cobb cover illustration). I didn't know it was the second book in a series when I bought it, but I didn't feel that I was missing anything or had to get caught up with the first book. Not that I don't want to read it now! The characters are lively and the story vivid and exciting. Blyton uses the omniscient style (head-hopping by today's standards), but it really doesn't matter because the story is engaging and well-paced.
