Hey guys. it’s Lois, back with another Standalone Sunday. I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday. Me and David are currently having a weekend in the Lake District. It is our 2 year anniversary today so we thought we would celebrate it! Standalone Sunday is a weekly meme created by Megan @ Bookslayerreads. Every Sunday we make a post about a standalone book, so one that is not part of a series. There is an awful lot of focus are books that are part of a series, so it is always nice to feature a standalone book.
This weeks Standalone Sunday book is another book by Roald Dahl, The BFG.
Published: 1982
Synopsis:
“Captured by a giant! The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It’s lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher, or any of the other giants-rather than the BFG-she would have soon become breakfast.
When Sophie hears that they are flush-bunking off in England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!”
My Comments:
This is another of my favourite ever childhood books! I have read this book multiple times before. I went to watch the new BFG movie that was released last year and loved it! There is nothing to fault with this book. It always makes me smile and always did when I was younger. I will certainly be reading this book again!
There you have it this weeks Standalone Sunday. Comment below if you have read this book or plan on reading this book as well as your thoughts.
