A sequel to Coot Club. I like this group of stories less well than
I do those concerned with the doings of the Swallows and Amazons.
Ransome is not at his best when his characters - to stay in
character - seem forced to murder the King's English. He knows his
gentlefolk better, it seems. The story has plenty of pace and
action, more adventure perhaps than the other quieter tales. Of
course, the setting is coastal England (pre-war) and the story has
to do with boats. The Coot Club members, the central six,
constitute themselves a miniature Scotland Yard and solve a
mystery. (Kirkus Reviews)
'Why shouldn't we be detectives too?' When Dick and Dorothea arrive
in the Norfolk Broads all set for a blissful summer on the river,
they find their friends the Death and Glories in a very bad
situation. Accused of setting boats adrift, sabotage and theft, the
boys are under suspicion by everyone on the river. And in the
meantime, the real culprits are still at large. There's no choice
but to form a crime-busting team: The Big Six. As the evidence
stacks against them, can they solve the mystery and trap the real
criminals? Includes exclusive material: In 'The Backstory' find out
about birds, boats and fish and put your own detective skills to
the test! Vintage Children's Classics is a twenty-first century

lives. Discover timeless favourites from The Jungle Book and
