Synopsis
The Adventure series by Enid Blyton features the same child characters: Philip, Jack, Dinah, and Lucy-Ann, along with several adult characters. Jack's pet cockatoo, Kiki, is also a standard feature in each novel. In The Sea of Adventure, the children are taken on a trip to a Scottish island to help them recover from a nasty case of measles. But amongst the islands, they stumble upon a sinister plot, and the children are left alone to find out what is going on.
