The Magic Finger
The Magic Finger

Whimsical tale of justice with a magical twist.

If you've ever felt a surge of indignation at an injustice, "The Magic Finger" could be a relatable and satisfying read. Roald Dahl has a knack for blending the real with the fantastic, and this story offers a unique perspective on empathy and consequence through the eyes of a child. It's a quick read, but it packs a moral punch that will resonate with both young readers and adults alike.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted? To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. To the girl who lives next door, it's just plain horrible. She tries to be polite. She tries to talk them out of it, but the Greggs only laugh at her. Then one day the Greggs go too far, and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them. When she's very, very angry, the little girl's Magic Finger takes over. She really can’t control it, and now it's turned the Greggs into birds! Before they know it, the Greggs are living in a nest, and that's just the beginning of their problems….
