Yup, you're right Bets says that Larry is 15 I guess in The Mystery of the disappearing cat.

Lol! I seem to have missed this - although technically we were still waiting for the official answer, I guess!

Re: True or false?
Well you may as well set the next one now you're here Rob. I think Larry is 13, by the way, just a few months older than Fatty.

Re: True or false?
Well, it's my turn after that last question but it was Rob's turn before that... I'm happy for you to take it if you like, Rob, as I'm busy at the moment and can't think of a really good question off the top of my head!

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)

Your turn.
Here Is the paragraph which confirms this:
“I wish I wasn’t only eight years old,” she (Bets) thought for about the thousandth time.”Larry’s thirteen, and the others are twelve - ages older than me. I shall never catch them up.”
Welcome to the forums.
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

Re: True or false?
Actually it is true, although I admit it is probably quite a hard question, as I believe it's only mentioned once.
In the Mystery of the Secret Room, the first time Fatty disguises - as the French boy - he has a wig on and is described: 'His hair was as curly as Bets' was,'

Thanks S-Dog, I never noticed that and did not associate Bets with curly hair.
