Though the theme of poaching may not be the best one, this is still a great book on the number one way to be a great dad: spend quality time with your children...

This novel is extremely high-quality. "Danny the Champion of the World" is a grand paperback novel and extremely explanatory. The author is Roald Dahl When Danny's father is stuck in the hole the keepers dug to catch poachers. That's why Danny's father was home so late because he was poaching pheasants. That was an exciting moment in the novel.
The plot of the novel is to get back at Mr. Victor Hazel because he thinks he is the king of the town that he lives in. That's when Danny thinks of a way to get back at Mr. Hazel. The way is to use Danny' s fathers sleeping pills and put one forth of the sleeping pills and to put them into raisins and throw them to the pheasants. So when the pheasant eat the raisins after a little while when the pheasants go up to nest the pills will start to work and they will fall out of the trees. Then Danny and his dad go and pick up the pheasant. That also was an extremely astounding section in the novel. The characters are Danny and William (Danny's dad) those are the main characters. The reason I'm not telling the rest is because there are too many to name. The setting is somewhere in England, 1955. Danny lives in the country with his dad. Danny's dads name is William he is a mechanic and runs a filling station. Danny and his dad live in an old gypsy caravan that is behind the work shop.
The illustrations were just phenomenal. I thought that Quentin Blake was just your normal illustrator but I was wrong he is just a great no not a great but a fantastic illustrator. I think he is just one of the best illustrators I have ever heard of.
The action in this novel is so action packed every night I just wanted to keep reading. Every night my teacher gave me this book to read I wished we could finish the book it was so excellent. The description was also extremely wonderful I couldn't keep up with his vocabulary it was so high-quality.
The age range for this book is for any one who likes to read. If anybody is interested in reading this novel it is an interesting. This novel made me jumpier than a jack rabbit when it finds a carrot. You will to if you read this novel.
In the beginning Dahl describes the caravan, filling station and the shop extremely well. At the end Danny said my father is the best father a boy could ever wish for. I thought that was just so kind of Danny to say that towards his father.
This is a type of story that about a kids life. Even though he has not very much you can still have fun that is what kind of story I think this is. Danny has very little but his dad is all he needs because, that is that entire he has had all his life.
This is why I liked this book because of the action, the moments and the memories. That is why I liked this novel so incredibly much.
