Unleash the power of justice with The Magic Finger, a short but punchy Roald Dahl classic that explores the consequences of being unkind.
The story follows an eight-year-old girl with a very unusual gift: whenever she gets angry and sees red, her finger starts to tingle, and something extraordinary happens to the person she’s pointing at. When her neighbors, the Gregg family, refuse to stop hunting animals for sport, she loses her temper and zaps them. The next morning, the Greggs wake up to a world turned upside down—they’ve shrunk to the size of birds, while the ducks they were hunting have grown giant arms!
A brilliant, bite-sized adventure about empathy and seeing the world through someone else's eyes, this story is perfect for younger readers and anyone who loves a bit of magical mischief.
