Another wonderful book by Roald Dahl. I love this one a lot, as much as Matilda and BFG. This book is about Danny and his dad. I love this story very much. Even though it is simple, it's really lovely and heart warming. The way he talks about curling up with a hot choc, makes you want to do it to. And also, makes you remember what's really important in life. Anyways the main plot is this. Danny's a boy whose mother passed away young. So he is raised by his dad. They own a pump station and garage, and do many wonderful thigns together. One day his dad tells him a deep dark secret and obsession. He loves poaching! And after that he teaches Danny lots about poaching. And the largest field for it is owned by the mean Mr. Hazzell. So Danny comes up with an ingenious plan to get the better of Mr. Hazzell and his pheasants. Wonderful adventure this book is. Lovely. And again lovely illustration by Quentin Blake.
