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.

It's a really funny. I liked the fact that the person who has the magic finger went running off lookong for the coopers and at the end there was a picture of the coopers

I like the part of the story where whiskers began growing out of teacher's face. I like Gregg's family, especially when they turn to ducks.

It’s really good because it’s a magical book. It’s magical because there’s a magic finger that makes the family get wings to fly. It’s the best book in the whole wide world. The family learn to be kind to birds.
