Five on a Secret Trail is a children’s mystery-adventure novel by Enid Blyton and book 15 in The Famous Five series, following Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy the dog as a camping trip near an old ruined cottage turns into another investigation. When Anne hears strange noises in the night and the children later see ghostly lights, the seemingly abandoned place begins to look far less empty than it should be. The story combines outdoor adventure, suspicion, courage and teamwork, as the Five try to understand whether they are facing a haunting, a trick, or a secret someone is determined to protect.
