“Danny the Champion of the World” by Roald Dahl (illustrated by Quentin Blake)

In this beloved classic, Danny lives a simple and lively life with his father in their cosy caravan on the edge of the moors. His father is inventive, resourceful and always ready for a mechanical fix or an unexpected outing — and Danny cherishes every moment they share. But the peace is under threat when the wealthy and tyrannical Mr Hazell moves into the neighbourhood, casting a shadow over the land Danny and his father hold dear.

Refusing to be intimidated, Danny and his father devise a daring plan: a caper filled with daring, humour and a touch of mischief. As their scheme unfolds across moonlit woods, hidden traps and vintage cars, Danny finds himself growing braver, wiser and more confident than he ever expected. Through laughter, suspense and heartfelt moments, Roald Dahl weaves a story that celebrates ingenuity, loyalty and the extraordinary bond between parent and child.
