Looking for a book

Hi, Please help me, I read a book about 20 odd years ago and it was about a group of kids set I think in America and they were all from poor homes and they ran away together. From memory I think a couple lived with grandparents, the main thing I remember is that they ran away to this sort of island and that they took a cow with them, towing her alongside their boat! They must have been there for about a year on and off and set up a life there, only sneaking back to the mainland to get things that they could then grow themselves on the island. If anyone has any idea what the book was called I would really appreciate it:)
 
The Secret Island by Enid Blyton

"Four runaways, Mike, Peggy, Nora and Jack, find a secret hiding place—a deserted island on a lovely lake. They build a willow-tree house, make their beds of heather and bracken, and grow their own vegetables. And Jack even manages to bring his cow, Daisy, and some hens to the island for fresh milk and eggs every day!"
