Every Saturday morning the Greg family goes off to shoot animals and birds. But the girl who lives next door hates hunting. Now it's made her so angry she's PUT THE MAGIC FINGER ON THEM ALL. And very strange things have begun to happen . . . And now you can listen to THE MAGIC FINGER (with THE MINPINS) and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios! Also look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits.

This is a fiction book. It is about a girl with a magic that shoots lightening. She shot a family of bird hunters and she turned them in to ducks and humans were trying to shoot them instead. I would recommend this book to my friends because the characters turn into ducks. And it was funny.

Found it a bit dull. Didn’t like how people shot animals just for fun.

I would recommend this book. I didn’t like the Gregg family when they were shooting. I liked them at the end of the story though.

I enjoyed this book very much. I loved when the main character turned her teacher into a cat was great! Even though this story is meant for children I think it tackled grown up issues such as cruelty to animals and how to practice kindness, which is really important.

This book was pretty good. It was a shorter story than others I have read. I liked how the boys enjoyed the flying and how they were dancing when they turned back into boys. I think most of my friends already know this book.

I liked it when the teacher got cat whiskers and changed into a cat and also when they turned into birds. I didn't like when the ducks messed up the house.

I like the character girl because she put her magic on the whole Gregg family . The next morning the whole Gregg family woke up to see that they were turned into birds.I recommend this book to my family and friends.

The giant ducks with arms looked funny

She has magical powers which comes out of her finger when she is cross. I don't think I'd like the power because she can't choose if she wants to use it or not. It teaches us to treat people how we want to be treated. I recommend this book.

OK.

I loved this book because it was a good story and it made me laugh at the Greg's family members. I had a good time reading the book and I want to see the new books if there is any more. My favourite thing was the one girl who had the magic finger on the Greg's.
