One dark, silvery moonlit night, Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant!
 
Luckily, it is the big friendly giant (the BFG), who is no ordinary bone-crunching giant, but instead prefers snozzcumbers and frobscottle to children.
 
But there are other giants in Giant Country. And those giants have a plan to gallop far and wide to find some tasty human beans to eat.
 
Can Sophie and the BFG stop them?
