The BFG

A girl who cannot sleep sees a giant in her village street at night, and because she has seen him, he carries her away to his own faraway land.

The giant who took Sophie turns out to blow happy dreams into children’s bedrooms, the only food in his land is a vegetable he hates, and a far bigger giant comes searching the cave for her.

Sophie tastes the giants’ upside-down fizzy drink, rides hidden past the man-eating giants, and watches the BFG catch two very different dreams in misty Dream Country.

The BFG turns the nightmare he caught into a trick on the worst giant, then shows Sophie his labeled dream jars and the old book that taught him to write.

Sophie thinks of a daring plan to stop the giants, the BFG mixes a special dream for the Queen, and the two friends set off through the night to find her.

A giant creeps through a royal garden, a dream slips in through the curtains, and the Queen wakes to find her nightmare on the front page.

A breakfast for a giant turns the Palace upside down, two telephone calls prove the BFG’s story, and the Queen calls in the heads of her Army and Air Force to catch the nine giants alive.

The Queen’s helicopters follow the BFG to Giant Country (a land the book makes up), the nine giants are caught and kept in a deep pit, and the BFG begins a new life.
