Danny, the Champion of the World
by Roald Dahl
Review this book!
Danny's mother died when he was only four months old, and since that time he's been raised by his kind and gentle father. Despite missing his mother, Danny is well-adjusted boy who lives with his father in a caravan behind his father's gas station. Danny thinks he knows his father very well, but at age nine, he discovers that his father has been hiding a big secret: he's a poacher. In fact, Danny's father likes nothing better than sneaking out of the caravan at night and stealing pheasants from the woodlands owned by the supercilious Mr. Victor Hazell. When Danny uncovers his dad's secret, he is eager to join in the fun, and eventually comes up with a plot so cunning that, if successful, will become the greatest poaching run ever achieved. More than just an adventure tale, DANNY THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD is a story that celebrates the loving and eternal bonds that exists between fathers and sons. Illustrated with occasional B&W drawings.
