De: Roald Dahl

Narrado por: Peter Serafinowicz

Can Danny and his father outsmart the villainous Mr. Hazell?

But one night Danny discovers a shocking secret that his father has kept hidden for years. Soon Danny finds himself the mastermind behind the most incredible plot ever attempted against nasty Victor Hazell, a wealthy landowner with a bad attitude. Can they pull it off? If so, Danny will truly be the champion of the world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian...[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” (The New York Times)

very cute story

my 6 year old liked it. we have enjoyed Roald Dhal children stories. we hope to find some more chapter books geared for kids like this one.

very entertaining

we just LOVE anything book by Road Dahl. this narration was performed beautifully. will definitely listen again

Good tale of childhood

This is not your typical Dahl book. It is not silly or Imaginative like his other books. It’s a rich story about a boy and his dad. We enjoyed it.

Just stinking amazing

I loved the story. I especially love the part when he said that no father is perfect because my father is really one of the worst fathers out there. I had to read this book back in sixth grade and just listening to it brings back memories.

I really really really like the the the cool so bow box the code the thing is father made from first birthday that is so cool and I honestly really want it it looks so fun. I also really want the kite the fire the kite the fire balloon and the treehouse the bone arrowand everything else you made it would be so fun to have a father like that. I wish my father word poaching unfortunately my parents arenot very fun they don't really do you anything they didn't make the wicked mad at me that the most stupid reasons for everything all right I just it's just like now I don't really like them at all now so yeah kind of sometimes I kind of wish I was in a different family but who cares right.

I LOVE this book... great for adults (tears)

Had heard of this book but never read it before. I'm pretty hit and miss when it comes to Dahl, some of his works I love, some I just want to bitch slap him. THIS is a LOVE LOVE LOVE... it lacks the zany aspects of some of his work which often is over the top and annoying to adults... this one it feels almost autobiographical and while it promotes some illegal activities, it does a wonderful job or portraying a really loving relationship between a single father and his son... tears I'm telling you, tears...

My favorite story.

Great story! Great narrator! I am almost 60 and I still read this book every year. Now I get to listen to it!

A Wonderful Listen

I really enjoyed this book. For children to adults, the story is very entertaining. It was great fun to listen to. The narrator has a lovely voice and did the characterizations well.

Even better in SPOKEN WORD!

Growing up (I am 38) this book was alwasys mesmerizing- to have it "read to me" as am adult- brings back it memorable sparkle!
