The Five Find-Outers is series of mystery novels by Enid Blyton, consisting of 15 novels and running from 1943-1961. It is one of her more popular series, being for an older audience than The Secret Seven, but very much of the same cut. It is targeted at older children and young teens, perhaps, and very roughly, 8-15 years of age.
The Five Find-Outers are formed when Larry, his little sister Daisy, and their neighbors Pip and Bets start to investigate a burnt-down cottage, and meet a stuck-up, rather fat rich kid Frederick Algernon Fatty Trotteville who has a nice dog, Buster, and likes to investigate mysteries as well. After a rocky start, they team up, and soon they are solving mysteries left and right.
