"Human beans is not really believing in giants; is they? Human beans is not thinking we exist." One dark; silvery moonlit night; Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant! Luckily it is the Big Friendly Giant (the BFG); who is no ordinary bone-crunching giant; but instead prefers snozzcumbers and frobscottle to children. But there are other giants in Giant Country. And those giants have a plan to gallop far and wide to find some tasty human beans to eat. Can Sophie and the BFG stop them?
