Where are the Arnolds?
The people of the strange mountain
Could know where they are!

Pretty bad attempt, but at least it's there. I was hard put to get the right amount of syllables. :roll:

That has to be In the Fifth at Malory Towers, in which the fifth-formers perform a pantomime (Cinderella) written by Darrell, June writes anonymous letters and Mam'zelle plays a "treek" of her own.

Next one:

Troublesome trio
Journey to find lost maiden.
"Goodness!" they exclaim.

Enid Blyton's Book of Brownies, where the brownies are sent to rescue the princess Peronel, and also for each to find their 'goodness'.

I'll post a haiku soon, but I have to make one up first.

Not at all certain of this one, I intially thought it was River of Adventure but have changed my mind to Rockingdown Mystery.

Why have I posted this, I'm hopeless at coming up with an Haiku, hopefully Muminah is correct.
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

It's the Rockingdown Mystery. I think I got some of the facts mixed up, but shadow got it right.
