Summary
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.

Blackwater Ben
by William Durbin
Thirteen-year-old Ben works at Blackwater Logging Camp as cook's helper to his Pa. Long days of flipping pancakes and peeling potatoes with his ornery Pa make Ben long to be out in the woods with the lumberjacks. Felling logs, sawing trees, driving a team through the snowy woods . . . that's what Ben wants to be doing. But the long cold winter in a camp filled with outlandish characters teaches Ben a lot about himself. Especially when an orphan boy called Nevers arrives in camp. When Nevers signs on to work with Pa, Ben makes a friend and a rival, too.
