DANNY The Day-Dreaming Super-pupilvs.the Diabolical Doctor Drudge (a.k.a. The Headteacher)Danny wasn't always a day-dreamer. He didn't always have his head in the clouds. Once upon a time, he had been a model pupil, hard-working, intelligent and very polite. Now, his world has changed and it's not for the better.Since his Dad left home, he sees life differently, and he spends his days wishing he could be someone else, or somewhere else . . . or both.Now, Danny is a DREAMER. He dreams of being a super-hero, he dreams of rescuing his best friend Pippa, he dreams of running away with his other best friend, Rocky, his pet Labrador. And he has a secret crush on the only teacher who is good to him, and tries to understand him, that nice Miss Chepstow, as his mum calls her.He doesn't much care for the rest of the world! He even "slightly dislikes" some people in it.Oh! And he absolutely hates Dwayne "The Pain" MacGregor, and Billy "The Kid" Kidman, the school bullies, with their "MacGregor Gang".And he has serious concerns about Doctor David Drudge, the school head. If he's a doctor, why is he also a headteacher? Who needs two full-time jobs?So, Danny retreats into his world of day-dreams, and night-dreams. Here, he feels safe. Here, he's in charge, he's saving the world, and the Diabolical Doctor Drudge and the weedy MacGregor Gang had better watch out. Danny, the Super-pupil, is going to put the world to rights . . . and, hopefully, pass his Year 6 SATs, with flying colours, at the same time.With a little help from Rocky, of course!A book for the dreamers in this world, mainly for those aged around 8 to 11 years . . . . but there really is no upper age limit for dreaming.This is a first book from new children's author, Robin Woods, and the first of a series of three books featuring the wild imaginings of Danny and, of course, his adventures with his best friend, Rocky.
