A little magic can take you a long way. After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friends - Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!

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, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to 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!

Where did Roald Dahl get all of his wonderful ideas for stories? From his own life, of course! As full of excitement and the unexpected as his world-famous, best-selling books, Roald Dahl's tales of his own childhood are completely fascinating and fiendishly funny. Did you know that Roald Dahl nearly lost his nose in a car accident? Or that he was once a chocolate candy tester for Cadbury's? Have you heard about his involvement in the Great Mouse Plot of 1924? If not, you don't yet know all there is to know about Roald Dahl.

Dahl is my favorite writer of children's novels
Picking the best of Roald Dahl's children's novels is impossible because there are so many great ones. My personal favorite is The BFG, but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory may be more famous because of it's movie adaptation Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. (Maryrose Wood's The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series has become my favorite contemporary children's book series.)
Roald Dahl died 27 years ago, but his books remain very popular throughout the English speaking world. That popularity is richly deserved.
My regret is that 5 of my six grandchildren are now too old for Roald Dahl's novels. But I am not!

SQUARE SWEETS THAT LOOK ROUND
MATURITY IS HIGHLY OVER RATED
NO ARGUMENTS PLEASE
I have listened to several of Dahl's books and liked them all. This one is my favorite so far. You can not compare Dahl to other writers because he does not write like other writers. He has an imagination that is all his own and very little is borrowed from anyone else. This book is especially unique and I know of no other like it. It is entertaining and heart warming. If you read only one Dahl book, let it be this one.
IT WILL ALL COME OUT IN THE WASH
