#BookReview–> The Young Adventurers series Book 3- The Riddle of the Rajah’s Ruby By Enid Blyton

The third book in the Young Adventurers Series, The Riddle of the Rajah’s Ruby, is filled
with as much fun, mystery  and adventure as
its predecessors. We have already met the brother –sister pair of Nick and
Katie who this time have found an adventure with their friends the brother
–sister twin pair of David and Sophie.

David and Sophie are orphans who have only a great- aunt as
relative. The death of their great aunt leaves the twins very rich with the mysterious
cursed Ruby as part of their inheritance. The ruby is said to bring bad luck to
its owner and soon it seems like bad luck has come to the twins as well when
they disappear with very little known as to their destination. Now it’s up to
Nick and Katie to find them and also make some very strange discoveries.

The book is expertly written with vivid descriptions of the
places and events which instantly form a picture in our mind. Nick and Katie
are as daring and as loyal as always, risking their lives to find their
friends. The twins, David and Sophie are mischief makers and together they
prove a handful to anyone who dares come in their way.

The book is a classic Enid Blyton adventure with the
excitement of camping, boating, swimming, solving mysteries, covert adventures,
exploring unknown places and in the end foiling the ill devised plans of the
villains.

I give The Riddle of the Rajah’s Rubya 4.5 out of 5 and though it’s not so
famous as “The Famous Five” or “The Secret Seven” yet it’s equally
memorable and a fun read.
