Book Review: The Magic Finger by Bon Qui Qui
Summary: 3 Stars
A young eight-year-old girl, the protagonist and narrator in The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl wants her friends Phillip and William Greg to stop hunting poor animals. She tries to stop them from hunting in the most polite manor, but they just snicker at her. She tries to avoid it, but one day the Gregs have gone too far. She uses the power of the "magic finger" on them, and something happens that she regrets. Will the Greg family be o.k.? Will they ever be normal again? I think this kids book could have used more challenging vocabulary, but sends a very important message. I would recommend this book for children ages 7-10.
Summary of The Magic Finger
To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. To the girl who lives next door, it?s just plain terrible. She tries to be polite. She tries to talk them out of it, but the Greggs go too far, and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them.
