Forget the magical Enid Blyton books, and enjoy this real-life Scoobydoo adventure with 5 characters whose names just happen to sound like those of the Famous 5.
Once you've freed yourself from any false expectation, you're in for a harmless romp through familiar Indiana Jones territory, with just enough tempo, variation and humour to keep you interested. The villainous bunch are deliciously quirky, and the kids' characters are finely contrasted and developed.
I'd've called it "Not the Famous 5 : The Curse of Kirrin Island."
As a bothersome technicality, I'm adding this last empty paragraph to make up the minimum number of words.
