I think the author’s message was: Never talk to strangers. Because, at one point, Snubby found a boy who was holding a letter and was all alone…Snubby asked the boy what was the letter about. The boy told him it was for his father’s friend and said he could not give it to anyone…But Snubby managed to convince him to give the letter to Snubby. If I was the little boy, I would not even talk to Snubby…

I feel happy that the gang finally managed to capture the villians (won’t tell you who)…I fell happy because the author, Enid Blyton, put a good ending showing how everyone was safe and that they celebrating a victory over their solved mystery…

The Funniest part(s) was Snubby kept on going out to find adventure and kept on getting his clothes dirty…Which resulted in him needing to constantly change his clothes. The saddest part was when the gang could not find out how to de-code the secret letter that was recovered by Snubby. The most exciting part was when Snubby managed to get hold of a secret letter written in a secret code.

The story is a very exciting one. Enid Blyton makes sure all of her mystery stories are well written and that it grabs the reader’s attention. She starts the story with a bang, and creates both small and big problems for the characters in the story.
