Describe one of the main characters:
Danny,
Danny is a 9 years old Boy, and his mother died when Danny was only 4 months old.
He has no brothers or sisters.
He lives with his father near a petrolstation, in a caravan, miles away from the villages. He always plays with his dad, with his self-made soapbox and his kite.

Say what you think about this person and why:
I think he’s a sweet Boy, because he’s happy with everything and cares about his father.

Theme:
Poaching, Pheasents.

What did you like about this book?
I liked that Danny and his father put the sleeping pills in the raisins, and the pheasents ate them.

What didn’t you like about this book?
I didn’t like Mr Victor Hazell

What did you find difficult?
The Danny’s father had no name, sometimes I red just Danny and the sentence is strance then.

Give your own opinion:
It is not the best book that Roald Dahl ever wrote, but it was really nice. Sometimes it was a little boring, because some chapters could also have told in one sentence. But most chapters were really exciting.
