This is my third summary..

Danny the Champion of the World
Roald Dahl

Danny's mother died when he was four months old so Danny lived with his father in a Gypsy caravan. Danny's father was an engineer and Danny loved to do engineering as well. That is why he did not start school until he was seven years old.

Danny's neighbor was a greedy man named Mr. Hazel who wanted to try remove Danny and his father from their small piece of land and then buy it for himself. He tried very hard to get them out, so that is why Danny's father had a very heavy grudge on him. When Danny turns nin years old his father starts to poach Mrr. Hazel's pheasonts. One night Danny finds out what his father is doing and is shocked. His father however explains his history of family poaching and how they don't use guns but rasins.
