Danny the Champion of the World
by Roald Dahl
Danny lives with his father in a caravan behind a filling station and discovers that his father goes poaching pheasants at night in a nearby wood.
A story about children and a grown-up hero, warm and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
