This book is told in a first person narrative by danny, here is the story

When Danny was four months old, his mom died suddenly, making his dad take care of him alone.

They lived in a gypsy caravan behind a filling station and they worked on cars in a workshop.

There was an apple tree behind the caravan.

Danny had a great childhood, his dad always told him stories before he went to bed.

One night his dad, while danny was asleep, went to poach some birds from Mr.Hazell (he is mean) without danny knowing. But danny caught his dad and said he could only poach if Danny's dad told him.

Danny's dad did it again and said "I promise i'll be back by 10:00 P.M. at the latest. Danny woke up at 2:00 A.M. and his dad wasn't there. So he went to find is dad in a car they had been working on. His dad was in a pit with a broken ankle. They went home called a doctor and got Danny's dad better. He came back with some sleeping pills and a metal brace on his leg. Danny told his dad about a plan to catch birds that involved raisins and the pills. They went to try it and it worked perfectly. They tried to carry the birds but they woke up and flew away. But six of them were still asleep and they gave 2 to every family. Then danny and his dad got an oven.
