__The BFG__ By: Roald Dahl

This book is about a young orphan named Sophie who is taken by a giant to giant country. One night Sophie looked out her window and saw a great creature sticking this huge instrument into someone's home. When the giant saw her he took her from her bedroom and brought her to his cave in giant country. This giant was the Big Friendly Giant (BFG). He is much different from the other nine giants. The BFG does not eat humans like the other giants but he eats nasty snoozcumbers. He collects dreams and each night he goes to any country and blows them into a child's bedroom and gives them a wonderful dream. Sophie becomes best friends with the BFG and learns the ways of him and also the other giants. Throughout the book the BFG shows Sophie many unusual things that are very hard to believe and they experience many fantastic adventures together.

I especially liked the fantasy in this book. It was very interesting how Roald Dahl explained how the giants and everything looked. This was very interesting because it sounded so cool and different from anything I ever heard and I just wanted to keep reading to see what I would learn about the giants next. Also I especially liked how I had a hard time to put the book down. Every part or this book is interesting and it is really worth reading.

I would recommend this book to older elementary school children and middle school age students. Also people that love fiction and fantasy books would really enjoy this book. There are some words that the BFG uses that are very unusal and that young students may not understand. If you love the author Roald Dahl you really should read this book because I have read many of his books and this one is one of my favorites.
