‘A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero’ – David Walliams
Phizz-whizzing new branding for the world’s No.1 storyteller, Roald Dahl!
Exciting, bold and instantly recognisable with Quentin Blake’s inimitable artwork.

The story of a little girl with magical powers. When someone makes her angry she zaps a punishment on them with her magic flashing finger! This edition has a great new cover, with illustrations by Quentin Blake, and some new facts about Roald Dahl and his world.

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!

Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! inspired by the revolting Twits.

I liked this book because they shouldn’t have been hunting and shooting the animals for fun. I did t think this would be very good but it surprised me how much I enjoyed it

My favourite person was the girl. She had a magic finger and when she didn’t like people she could use it to make bad things happen to the other people.
