Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl

Youth Fiction - 3.5 stars - Megan loved this book! It is the story of Danny, who grows up in a gypsy caravan in England, and who works at his father's filling station and auto repair when he is not in school. Having no electricity in their caravan, Danny and his father spend their time storytelling by the light of the gas lamps and have a marvelous life until his father's secret life spices things up a little. This book stays true to one of Dahl's favorite themes that can be found in all of his books - no tv and imagination go a long way. Worth the read, especially for Megan's age group.
