Five Fall into Adventure. It's close as I love both but number 9 has a somewhat stronger, more tense plot.

Five Fall into Adventure or Five on a Hike Together?

Five on a Hike together - I can't really explain why, but it is...

Five on a Hike together
or
The Secret Island?

The secret island every time, so good I've quoted it in my signature.

The Secret Island or
The Rubadub Mystery
If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy

Two of Enid's finest books there. I'll go for The Secret Island as it's very unique in the Blyton canon.

The Secret Island or The Island of Adventure?

Hmm, that's difficult. I love the Adventure-Series but I also like The Secret Island a lot. It's very difficult but I go with:

The Secret Island
or
The Sea of Adventure?

The River of Adventure. Just to break the monotony.

The River of Adventure or Mr Galliano's Circus?

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
