Magic Finger, The Dahl Roald

Classic Roald Dahl mischief in a perfectly bite-sized package! When an eight-year-old girl gets fed up with her hunting-obsessed neighbours, her mysterious 'magic finger' transforms them in the most unexpected way. Soon the Gregg family sprout wings while their former prey moves into the house. It's vintage Dahl—darkly funny, wonderfully weird, and with just enough edge to make kids giggle nervously. With Quentin Blake's unmistakable illustrations bringing the chaos to life, this quick read packs more punch than stories twice its length. Perfect for young readers ready to graduate to chapter books, reluctant readers who need something punchy, or Dahl completists tracking down every title.
