"The BFG" is a delightful and imaginative story that showcases Roald Dahl's signature blend of humor and heart.

The BFG is amazing. In this story, Sophie, with her kind heart, helps out the little giant who has been picked on by the other giants. The book will amaze you as you see the characters grow in their own way.

The BFG captures the imagination of every adult and child with an imagination worth capturing. Wonderfully written, witty, courageous, understated and with such a strong morality, this book is a treaure for young and old readers alike. We have been blessed with the gift of language and writers like Roald Dahl allow themselves to roll in the hay with letters and words. The result is a story with a big heart and a dancing theme.
