In either year 2 or 3 (actually I think it happened both years) my class had a substitute teacher at the end of the year. She was amazing and I adored her. She would always read us stories which of course I loved. As well as this book she also read us Roald Dahls The Witches and The BFG.

Anyways I was totally enthralled with this story and the day she finished it I went home and was RAVING about it and either my brother or mother told me we had a copy of it somewhere that belonged to my brother but he never muched cared for it. I went rummaging and found it and it became mine. :D
I still have the same copy of the book! I have read it many times over the years. I love the life Danny and his father live. I think they are a beautiful family.

This is a really great kids book...okay a bit morally questionable at times (father is a poacher and they plot to make off with LOADS of pheasants from the local rich guys forest) but its still a really great kids book!
