It's funny to note the difference in opinion of other readers; for instance, one says "she's so sweet, and just dotes on her older brother" while another says "what an annoying little drip Lucy-Ann is! See, and this is a SPOILER, but… Jo-jo’s not actually slow-witted, or at least no more so than any lower-class person (this being the 1940s). In the stories Kiki serves usually either as comic relief or as a saviour from tight situations, as her voice is sometimes mistaken for a real person.

I was disappointed that they just climb out of the well shaft in the end, but I suppose flooding it and floating up would have posed some filming challenges.

Philip Mannering meets Jack and Lucy-Ann at Mr Roy’s house where the boys are receiving extra tuition, and the three immediately become good friends. I couldn’t find a date of birth for the actor playing Philip but his first acting role was as a ‘youth’ in 1976, so he was at least 18 if not older.

No, Bill is happy to show them how to put up the sail and control the boat, and let them use the boat on their own while he's not around, as long as they promise not to go to the island. He is one of the few black characters to be found in Blyton and comes across as something of a caricature at first, full of superstitious tales of bad "things" wandering about at night.

She's also one of the most translated authors with her stories being published in over 40 languages. So I will start with an overview of the story as told in the film, noting particularly where it deviates from the book.

Both Jake and Olly are pretty inept at keeping kids under control, and Joe comes across much more vicious and nasty throughout, and especially at the end. Philip’s pets don’t play a particularly large role in this first book but he has a little brown mouse living in his jersey through the book, who makes several appearances.

Lucy-Ann Trent: Jack's little sister is the youngest of the foursome (about 11 at the beginning of the series) and also the most timid one. They eventually find out that Bill is a member of the police force who has been detailed to keep an eye on Jo-Jo.Who is the strange, pompous foreign boy Gustavus Barmilevo invited to the children's home by Bill for the holidays? All the way through the book the reader is led to believe that the old copper mines on the island, long closed, are being secretly mined once more.

By the end of the book they’re firm friends and Mrs Mannering not only is able to set up a home for her two, but she takes in their friends as well.
