Triumph of the underdog.

Danny the Champion of the World is a book that would be great for young readers who enjoy stories of triumph against the odds. The book has a unique story line and depicts the theme of a father-son bond exceptionally well. The bond between the two is so powerful that Danny's dad's secret creates a thrilling turning point in the story. Overall, the book is a fantastic tale of bravery, intuition and family bonds.

Description

From the bestselling author of  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG ! Danny has a life any boy would love—his home is a gypsy caravan, he's the youngest master car mechanic around, and his best friend is his dad, who never runs out of wonderful stories to tell. But one night Danny discovers a shocking secret that his father has kept hidden for years. Soon Danny finds himself the mastermind behind the most incredible plot ever attempted against nasty Victor Hazell, a wealthy landowner with a bad attitude. Can they pull it off? If so, Danny will truly be the champion of the world.
