Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
The BFG by Dahl Roald
When little Sophie is snatched out of her bed in the dead of night by the BFG she fears the worst, but unlike his grisly neighbours the Bloodbottler and the Fleshlumpeater, the Big Friendly Giant is a dream maker and not a man-eater. Together they go on a roller-coaster of an adventure to prevent the brutish giants from gobbling up any more human beans.
