One night Danny wakes up in the middle of the night and cannot find his dad anywhere. His dad comes home after being at Mr. Victor Hazel’s property, a rich neighbor.

If you want to find out if the plan works, read this book.

Reviewer:  Mason W. '06

Danny, Champion of the World has three main characters. Danny is a kind, respectful boy who loves his father very much. Danny’s father is a smart man who likes to tell stories to Danny. Mr. Victor Von Hazel is vile, wretched, and never treats Danny with respect.

In this book, Mr. Von Hazel buys 100 pheasants for a shooting party where many important people are invited. Danny and his father hate Mr. Von Hazel. They plan to capture all the pheasants before the shooting party begins; Mr. Von Hazel will look like a fool. Read Danny, Champion of the World to find out whether or not they capture all the pheasants.
