The sequel to Five on Brexit Island sees the plucky Famous Five ensnared by the dastardly cousin Rupert in a cunning plan to take advantage of some maritime ambiguity resulting from Brexit. This is perhaps the closest the twenty something Five (including four hundred something Timmy in dog years) have come to recreating one of their daring childhood adventures making it one of the most satisfying entries in the series.
It's still spiced with smile- rather than laugh-worthy humour making this riff appealing on more than one level.
Verdict: Enjoyable escapism.
