I don't know it, but now I'm curious, since that sounds interesting. It sounds like the kind of book Roald Dahl would write.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

This really rang a bell to me, and after a bit of googling, I'm pretty sure that it's Chancy and the Grand Rascal by Sid Fleischmann. The con man is the main character's uncle, not his father, but everything else seems to line up.

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

By George, you've got it! Thank you. ^_^ The author makes sense too, since we had most of the McBroom books in the house as well.

And I have now bought a copy so that I will have one once my kids are old enough.
