The BFG is a big friendly giant who spirits a child out of bed one dark night.

Fortunately, he really is friendly, but his countrymen in the Land of Giants are inveterate child-eaters. In this warm and funny story of an unusual friendship, Sophie and the BFG cook up an ingenious plan and rid the world of "trogglehunting giants" for ever. Puffin Modern Classics highlight the most successful and enduringly popular stories published for children in recent years.

‘I think the book the BFG was good. It had a lot of good words and a good story line. It kept me wanting to read more and I am going to read more Roald Dahl.’
Taylor Rossi (age 12-14)
