Boys

This book explores a close father-son relationship. Danny and his father enjoy each other’s company while living an unconventional life. When Danny learns that his father (and many others) secretly poach pheasants, he becomes involved in the adventure.
I like how Danny truly appreciates his father’s character and enjoys his company. The rule breaking (and reveling in it) is standard Roald Dahl.
