The Famous Five are back as a new group of kids go camping in the Forest of Secrets and crack their third mystery.

A brand-new adventure by bestselling author Chris Smith, inspired by Enid Blyton and featuring original and new characters.

Maddy, Fran and Tom - plus Gilbert the dog - are off on a camping trip with Professor George, and they can't wait! There will be sausages to cook over the campfire and amazing places to explore . . . but before long, the New Famous Five discover there's a bigger adventure in store for them. A famous scientist has gone missing and a criminal gang wants to use his research for nefarious purposes. Can the children solve the mystery, rescue the scientist and stop the criminals in their tracks?
