This is a story about 4 kids and their dog who explored Kirrin Island and had an adventure together. Here is the story:
Julian, Dick, and Annie were siblings. They'd never met their cousin, a strange girl who wanted to be a boy named Georgina. She cut her hair short, almost like a boy's, she wore jeans all the time, and she acted like a boy all the time.
She was a tomboy. She had a dog named Timothy, but she had it at the end of the story.
At that Summer holiday, Julian, Dick and Annie wanted to go to Polseath. But their parents said that that they were going to Scotland. So they thought of staying in Uncle Quentin's house, their father's brother. Uncle Quentin was a scientist which was always in a bad mood. The children decided that it was a good idea when their parents told them that there was Georgina, and they never met her, and they were excited to meet their unknown cousin.
When they went to Uncle Quentin's house, they didn't see or met Georgina until their bedtime came. Julian and Dick slept in a room, while Annie slept in a room together with Georgina. The next morning, Annie saw another figure on a bed next to her. She was very shock at the look of it. Annie asked if she was Georgina. She said that she's not Georgina, but she's George. She said that she hated being a girl and she didn't like doing what girls do, she liked the things that boys did, she could climb better than any boy. She could swim faster and she could sail a boat like any boy. She wanted Annie to call her George, or she won't answer. She even teased Annie for liking to be a girl, who liked dolls and pretty frocks.
At the breakfast table, Aunt Fanny, Georgina's mother told Georgina to bring her cousins down to see the bay and the best places to bathe. But Georgina refused. She wanted to go fishing. But her parents forced her to do it. When they were on an easy path that led to the bay, Annie saw a funny little Island. She asked Georgina about it, and Georgina said that it's called Kirrin Island, and it belonged to her. Anne, Julian and Dick were shocked. Then Dick asked her about it, but he failed because he called her Georgina, so Julian asked her again, this time using George, and George explained that her mother's family owned nearly all of the land around there, but when they got poor, they had to sell everything, but they couldn't sell that Island because it was worth nothing. And there were wrecks too, but all of them had been cleared except one, which deep down underwater. And she said that the wreck belonged to her too. She said that the wreck belonged to her great-great-great grandfather but was shipwrecked on Kirrin Island. He was bringing back gold with him. Divers came down to see but they didn't found any gold.
Dick suggested that they had a bathe, but George said that she had to get Timothy first. It was a mystery for Julian, Dick, and Anne of who Timothy was. George asked if they could keep a secret. They said yes. So she brought out a dog. She told them that she found him lost as a puppy and brought him home. Then she raised him until he was big, and he started to become naughty. He chewed on things. And he barked too. That made her father angry and she put him to Alf, a fisher boy she knew and she paid him with all the pocket money she got for his food and things. She also promised to take her cousins out to see the Island and the wreck, and her mother was truly shocked when she heard that for George never took anybody to that Island.
The next day they had a picnic with their Aunt Fanny. And the next day again, they visited the Island again and found an amazing sight. There was a storm and the storm pulled up the shipwreck to shore. After the storm, the four kids went and explored the shipwreck. It's full of seaweed and was smelly. But they found a box. They opened it a George's home. They discovered that there was a map of the old castle which stood on the Island, and a diary of the ship's voyages. On the map, there was a picture of a dungeon and there was a writing Ingots on it. Julian, Dick, and George understood directly. Annie was puzzled and they explained about it.They decided to find the bars of gold.
But suddenly they got bad news. When they wanted to open the box, they need to bang it from the attic and it disturbed Uncle Quentin. He took the box. But Julian made a copy of the map. He didn't think that the box would be sold. But they got news that the box was sold, and the Island was going to be sold. The children were going to get the gold. They needed to act fast now.
The Famous Five planned every thing carefully, then they went to the Island and stayed there for a day or two. They worked very hard, digging, going down wells, and opening heavy doors. Finally, they found the dungeon and found the gold. But, Dick got bleeding from a peck, and Annie needed to go up with him and rest outside. Julian and Georgina were the one who founded the gold, but two men came and trapped them in the dungeon. Then Dick came to the rescue. When he got everyone out, Georgina destroyed the two men's boat and went away to tell Uncle Quentin. When they went home, they showed where the gold was. They also brought the police with them. Soon, they became rich and Georgina got her wish, she got Timothy.
The End
