The BFG by Roald Dahl

“The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly, and it’s lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been snitched from her bed by Fleshlumpeater, Bonecruncher, Childchewer,Gizzardgulper or any of the other giants, she wouldn’t have stood a chance, but would have been guzzled like a whiffswhiddle before you could say rack jobinson.”
-Roald Dahl
THE BFG
by Roald Dahl

The BFG is about a little girl named Sophie, who looks out her bedside window in her horrible old orphanage in England one night to see a tall, black figure across the street. But this isn’t one of the ordinary giants. This is the Big Friendly Giant- or the BFG. He takes her from her bed and they go flush-bunking off to Giant Country, where Sophie discovers that there are nine other giants- the Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher, the Manhugger, the Childchewer, the Meatdripper, the Gizzardgulper, the Maidmasher, the Bloodbottler, and the Butcher Boy- who would have eaten her immediately if they had found her. Luckily, this is the BFG, the friendly, lovable giant. When Sophie hears that they are running off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she wants to stop the human bean guzzling once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!


Book Rating: Good

The BFG is great book for children of all ages, but I would recommend it for elementary age kids.
