The BFG by Roald Dahl

When young orphan Sophie spots a giant creeping through the night streets, she's whisked away to Giant Country, terrified she's about to be eaten. Instead she meets the Big Friendly Giant, a gentle, dream-catching vegetarian who talks in wonderfully mangled English and is bullied by the other, far more monstrous giants who really do eat children. Together Sophie and the BFG hatch a plan, with the help of the Queen of England herself, to stop the child-eating giants once and for all. Roald Dahl's beloved classic, illustrated by Quentin Blake, is a warm, wildly inventive story about friendship, courage, and standing up to bullies twice your size.
