Together the 9 year old and his dad fly home made kites, make gas balloons, and work with cars and other wonderful things like reading stories and enjoying a midnight feast. The boy think his father is such a wonderful man that he doesn’t even want to take friends home from school, so that he gets even more time to spend with him alone. Every day with his father is like a fairytale to Danny, and he couldn’t imagine spending his time anywhere else than in his father’s garage or caravan. But one-day Danny’s life takes a dramatic turn. ”I am going to let you in on the deepest, darkest secret of my whole life.” Danny has always thought about his father as the perfect citizen. Imagine the boy’s reaction when he finds out that his dad is actually a criminal, and has broken the law several times. Danny is shocked “Do you mean stealing?” His dad explains everything to him.

Most of the methods were developed by Danny’s grandfather (William’s father) and has been past on to William The rich Mr Victor Hazell is a very disgusting man, he treats everyone bad and is a stuck up snob.

William became so angry that he asked Mr Hazell to leave and don’t come back. Because Mr Hazell is such a bad person William doesn’t feel blame at all poaching from his woods, and after that incident Danny and his father comes up with the idea of poaching more pheasant than ever before. William let’s Danny in on a “world” he would never thought of himself, and Danny learns that the people you suspect the least can be some of the best poachers. Together Danny and William plan to pull off the most thrilling and dangerous stunt ever in the history of poaching, and if they pull it off Danny will in fact be “The champion of the world”.
