By Roald Dahl
Captured by a giant! The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching
giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It’s lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she
been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, the
Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher, or any of the other giants—rather than the
BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that they are
flush-bunking off in England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she
decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!
Roald Dahl is a beloved children’s author for a reason. This
is just pure fun and captures the imagination of children. It’s a great story
for kids and as an adult, just makes me smile and feel great. The BFG (short
for Big Friendly Giant) is the only nice giant in the world, and Sophie just
happens to make friends with him and learn about how horrible the other giants
are while with the BFG. When she finds out the other giants are on their way to
England for a snack of children, she takes matters into her own hands with the
help of the BFG and decides to go to the Queen of England for help. This is
just a fun romp with clever wit and friendliness. One of my favorites from
Roald Dahl.
