Short summary

Sophie gets snatched from the orphanage by a giant, but luckily he is the Big Friendly Giant who catches dreams instead of eating children. Together they make a plan to stop the other giants.

Did you like this book?

Yes. The way the BFG talks is hilarious — whizzpopping and snozzcumbers. Some bits with the other giants were a little bit scary.

Would you recommend it to a friend?

yes — The made-up words are the funniest thing ever.
