Tom Dudgeon has cast off a motor cruiser from its moorings to protect a coot’s nest, but now the cruiser is searching high and low for him – even offering a reward. Tom accepts an invitation for a week’s cruise to teach his new friends, Dick and Dorothea, how to sail. You couldn’t get a better sailor than Tom, but can he really stay ahead of his pursuers long enough to complete the voyage?

Reunited for the summer, the Swallows and Amazons launch a prospecting expedition to find the lost gold mine on the high hills above the lake. But the mining camp runs into all sorts of trouble: not only the danger of fire in the drought-ridden countryside but also scary encounters with unsafe tunnels. Worst of all is the sinister Squashy Hat, who appears to be a rival prospector and a spy – how can they keep working without him discovering what they’ve found?

‘Now, Susan,’ Mother said, ‘And you too, John.
No night sailing … No going outside the harbour …
And back the day after tomorrow … Promise.’
But promises can’t always be kept. Within twenty-four hours John, Susan, Titty and Roger find themselves fighting a night gale in the treacherous waters of the North Sea, adrift and in the main shipping lanes. Suddenly, it’s a real adventure and only their sailing skills can help them now …
SECRET WATER

‘You’ll start with a blank map, that doesn’t do more than show roughly what’s water and what isn’t. You’ll have your tents, stores, everything we’d got ready. You’ll be just a wee bit better off than Columbus. But you’ll be marooned fair and square.’
John, Susan, Titty and Roger, the crew of the Swallow, take on the job of mapping the mass of small islands around Pin Mill while living on the biggest one. But who are the mysterious savages who lurk in the islands – and is the tribal totem they find in their campsite a threat of attack?
THE BIG SIX

‘But who are the Big Six?’ asked Pete.
‘It’s the Big Five really,’ said Dorothea. ‘They are the greatest detectives in the world. They sit in the cubby holes at Scotland Yard and solve one mystery after another.’
It’s great detective work that’s needed now. Bill, Peter and Joe are falsely accused of setting boats adrift and the whole river is against them. Only Dick, Dorothea and Tom Dudgeon are there to stand by their friends and they soon set to work to investigate the crimes and trap the real criminals.

Miss Lee looked at John.
‘Were you coming here when you lost your ship?’
‘No,’ said John.
‘We jolly well would have if we’d known,’ said Nancy.
‘Why?’ asked Miss Lee.
‘Well, pirates,’ said Nancy. ‘Who wouldn’t?’
Nancy Blackett, the terror of the seas, has finally met a real pirate – the tiny, pistol-carrying Missee Lee who has rescued them after their shipwreck off the coast of China. The only trouble is she wants to keep them … forever …

The dreaded Great-Aunt has come to stay with Nancy and Peggy just as their friends arrive for the summer holiday! Now Nancy and Peggy must wear dresses and read poetry by day. But at night they break out for wildness. It’s a desperate gamble, but can it possibly work against the evil eyes of the fearsome Great-Aunt?
GREAT NORTHERN?

‘I was wrong,’ said Captain Flint. ‘He’s not mad but bad. Rotten bad. It isn’t only eggs he wants. He wants us to take the credit for it. You’re quite right. It’s up to us; it’s up to the ship, to see he doesn’t.’
Dick’s birdwatching discovery turns the cruise of the Sea Bear into a desperate chase. Not only do the Swallows and Amazons have to solve the case, but they also have to dodge the savage natives and evade the ruthless pursuit of a fanatic egg collector, determined to kill a pair of rare birds. Fortunately, Nancy has a few plans …
