The story happens at the [|filling-station] where Danny and his dad live. It happens when Danny is at the age of 9. You can see this is a story from long time ago in many ways: where and how they live, they don’t have computers, mobile phones, TV or electricity at all. They live in an old caravan, with no windows or fire safety. At school, Danny’s teacher is very strict and hits the pupils if they do something he thinks is illegal.

Danny is a young boy who has lived with his father at the filling-station since he was born. He always helps his dad to fix cars, and is very clever. He thinks of his dad as the best person in the world and his best friend. Danny is a smart kid. At the age of nine, when his dad didn’t come back from the wood, he knew something was wrong and drove the car to the wood to search for him. Danny has some friends at school, but he rarely bring them home to the filling-station. His best friend at school is Sidney Morgan.

Dad has been taking care of Danny alone since his wife suddenly died when Danny was a baby. He is a very caring dad who always wants the best for Danny. He is poor, so therefore they have to live in the caravan at the filling-station. Dad is a clever worker and poacher. He is the son of the most famous poacher, so he has learnt very much from him.



M r. Hazell is an insufferable man. He owns the whole area around the filling-station. Mr. Hazell has been bothering Danny’s family for a very long time, so he is not a very popular costumer at the filling-station. He has a lot of pheasants in his woods and has keepers to look after them during the day, so no one tries to poach them. He is the mean guy in the book.
