The Magic Finger By Roald Dahl (Illustrator) Quentin Blake

Description

To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. To the girl who lives next door, it’s just plain horrible. She tries to be polite. She tries to talk them out of it, but the Greggs only laugh at her. Then one day the Greggs go too far, and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them. When she’s very, very angry, the little girl’s Magic Finger takes over. She really can’t control it, and now it’s turned the Greggs into birds! Before they know it, the Greggs are living in a nest, and that’s just the beginning of their problems

“The Magic Finger” by Roald Dahl is a children’s story about a girl named Lucy who discovers she has a magical finger that can zap people with electrical energy whenever she gets intensely angry. The titular “Magic Finger” is a power that Lucy can’t control, and it often leads to unintended consequences, as it seeks out the person who has angered her.
