Book Review By Arnav Agarwal
Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl

Danny, an obedient, caring, and well-cultured boy was brought up by his father with lots of care and love. A strong bond and attachment had formed. Danny thought himself to be lucky to have a father like he had. Danny was so attached to his father and trusted him so much, that the idea of his father hiding something from him did not even cross his mind.

But one day, 9-year old Danny found the truth to the one secret that his father had hidden from him. He woke up one night to find that he was the only one at home. He found that his father had gone out. That night, Danny found out his father's one vice; hunting pheasants. He also found his father's biggest enemy, Victor Hazell. Victor Hazell was a famous, rich landowner, who was known for his pheasants. A season for pheasant hunting occurred every year on his land. It was very popular.

Danny found out that his father wanted to make his rival's event a failure. But his father's plans weren't working. Suddenly, Danny hatched an excellent plan. The twosome had only two days, to kill a lot of pheasants. So, they got to work. Danny and his father filled berries with sleeping powder. They knew that the pheasants ate berries, and planned to put all the pheasants to sleep and take them away. So, they got a lot of berries ready, and then set them for the pheasants.
