Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the unique, unbreakable bond between a child and a parent. It is particularly healing for families in single-parent homes or for children who thrive on one-on-one time with a caregiver. The story follows Danny and his father, who live a simple but magical life in a tiny caravan, as they plot a clever, non-violent 'heist' against a local bully. While it contains high-stakes adventure and a bit of rule-breaking, the heart of the story is the deep mutual respect and love between father and son. It is a warm, funny, and deeply reassuring read for children aged 7 to 12.
