Look insideThe BFG
Just imagine knowing you may be eaten for breakfast at any moment; dropped like a rasher of bacon into a frying pan sizzling with fat. This is exactly what worries Sophie when she is snatched from her bed by a giant whose stride is as long as a tennis court! Luckily, the giant who has her in his grasp is a gentle, jumbly creature who captures dreams like exotic butterflies. As Sophie enters Giant Country with him, dodging monstrous beasts who feast on human bones, the biggest adventure of her whole life is just about to begin… Stuffed full of Quentin Blake’s exuberant artwork, this classic Roald Dahl favourite is an irrepressible tale of dreams, imagination and the triumph of good over evil.
