‘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.

It had a lot of fun and magical things in it that made you want to read on. It was quick and easy to read.
I like the story narration. It’s a fiction movie.
The girl is amazing she made greg’s stop killing animals
I like how it is magical and how it tells the story as if it really happened.
I liked the ducks best
It’s really inspiring It teaches us to not hurt the people around us

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.
This book is about a hunting family which is 2 boys and a father and next to there house is a girl who hates hunting so one day she puts the magic finger on them...
It was a good book but not as good as I thought it was gonna be
I liked the book because they promised not to shoot a duck or bird ever again.
I loved reading this book and wished that I could have a magic finger. I also liked the moral of the story.
I loved it when the little girl told the story about using the magic finger on her teacher
This is the best one from Rolad Dahl
This is an amazing book because it is so funny and magical. My favourite characters are the family who turned into ducks. I liked the way they made silly quacking noises on the phone. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!
it interests me because every time it says magic finger I'm like what does it do!
This book is about a family who love to go hunting geese and one day there are 4 geese who have human hands and the family have geese wings! I had put the magic finger on them all the only way to get back to normal was to make peace with the birds and never hunt again. Will the family accept this deal and become human again to change their habits and never hunt again or live a life in the outside world having to learn to be goose all from scratch?
- Recommended for people who like hunting and animals
I read this with my mum. I didn't really like this book because it wasn't very funny.
This book was alright
Loved the story!
There’s so much to say
I liked the part where the humans turned into birds and they had to build a nest, whilst the birds turned into humans and lived in the house.
This was a very good book. It took some crazy twists. I liked how the girl could control turning people in to birds and I also liked the ducks because they made the Greg family stop shooting all the birds.
Girl was the best character.
I would recommend this book to others
It's really cool how the girl can turn people into things when she gets very angry.
I liked that she had magic powers.
She's a bit special because she gets a tingle in her toes upto her finger and then she produces a ball of magic
I would recommend it to someone else if they wanted a short story book.
I always enjoy RD
I loved it at the end when Mr Gregg changed his name to Mr Egg because he learned to like birds not shoot them!
It was ok, it's fine but really I just don't like it that much.
