About this ebook
Roald Dahl's beloved novel hits the big screen in July 2016 in a major motion picture adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg from Amblin Entertainment and Walt Disney Pictures.
When Sophie is snatched from her orphanage bed by the BFG (Big Friendly Giant), she fears she will be eaten. But instead the two join forces to vanquish the nine other far less gentle giants who threaten to consume earth’s children. This beautiful hardcover gift edition of Dahl's classic features the original illustrations by Quentin Blake, as well as a silk ribbon marker, acid-free paper, gilt stamping on a full-cloth cover, decorative endpapers, and a sewn binding.

I could not get my face put of that book! It is also so interesting. I wanted to know what was going to happen to little Sophie. When I read it at school, I was so addicted to it. I got in trouble for reading in class its so good! If you want a book to read choose The BFG!

I read this book in one sitting. I loved all the characters and their personalities. I like how the giants are vicious and that makes them more realistic and it made me believe that they could truly exist in real life. Overall its a great book for young readers

I read it on Play Store, I have the book, and I just can't put it down! Sophie is incredibly tiny and brave to be with giants! I love Roald Dahl's books. The BFG (big friendly giant) is a wonderful book for little kids. Can't put it down! Roald Dahl does an awesome job making his books. This is my favorite book he made.☺☺☺🐕. I ♥ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!
About the author
Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. He spent his childhood in England and, at age eighteen, went to work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. When World War II broke out, he joined the Royal Air Force and became a fighter pilot. At the age of twenty-six he moved to Washington, D.C., and it was there he began to write. His first short story, which recounted his adventures in the war, was bought by The Saturday Evening Post, and so began a long and illustrious career.
After establishing himself as a writer for adults, Roald Dahl began writing children’s stories in 1960 while living in England with his family. His first stories were written as entertainment for his own children, to whom many of his books are dedicated.
Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved storytellers of our time. Although he passed away in 1990, his popularity continues to increase as his fantastic novels, including James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, delight an ever-growing legion of fans.
