Danny lives with his dad in an old gipsy caravan behind a filling-station. Danny’s dad is the best – a wonderful mechanic, a brilliant storyteller and a genius at kites. But grown-ups can be complicated creatures, and so it is that one day, when he is nine years old, Danny discovers that his dad has a deep, dark secret.

Danny is my favourite character. He and his dad had an adventure in the wood. They managed to rescue the pheasants without harming them. This book is fictional. I recommend it.

I like this book. Victor Hazel was a despicable villain. My favourite part was when Doc spencer stuck a blunt needle right into his bottom.

I really liked Danny because he went poaching with his dad and got all of Mr Hazel’s pheasants.

I am vegetarian and this book talked about poaching. Therefore, I learned what Poaching was in a fiction book. My favourite character was definitely Danny because he always knows how to make people laugh and is inquisitive to learn more about something he already knows. I would recommend this book!
