The BFG

by: Roald Dahl
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 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. {cover copy}
I had no idea what this book was about, and even though there was a movie available, I hadn't actually seen it yet. Still, even glancing at previews, I had no idea what it was about. This book was so silly and cute. I actually really loved it. I think it was one of Dahl's better works, actually. It's pretty short, so the plot isn't as deep as, say, Matilda. But I don't care. I really liked this one.

Sophie couldn't sleep. {first line}
