The story revolves around 4 best friends: Lucy-ann, Dinah, Phillip and Jack, who live at ‘Craggy Tops’- a village under a cliff overlooking the “Isle of Gloom”- an island which was famous for its copper mines about a century ago.
The book is about how these children uncover a mystery. ‘Joe’ a servant and ‘Bill’ a bird watcher too are a part of the story. The children are very eager to visit the Isle of Gloom as they have heard about the beautiful copper mines under the sea. The children take Joe’s boat and reach there. They climb down the mines and find out that there was already someone else working down the mines. They slowly move ahead and are seen by two men.
They catch the children and keep them locked in a small, dark cellar. Meanwhile Jack loses his way in the copper mines and is unaware about his friends getting trapped. The children fool the kidnappers and escape whereas Jack is still lost. Is it Bill behind the whole scenario?? What will happen next?? Will Jack remain lost forever?? Will the children uncover any other mystery?? Or is it something else…….?? To satisfy your curiosity read on………..
Full of mysteries, adventures and frightening experiences, this book is surely one of the best books of Enid Blyton.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BOOK.
