Another must-read for elementary school-aged children... Roald Dahl is singularly my favorite author from my childhood.
A truely wonderful story.

Read as a tween and loved it.

Another Roald Dahl masterpiece. I can see why it's a national best seller.

Great book
One of the greatest stories of all time of a young girl who realizes that she has telekinetic powers. A great story for any young girl whom has ever felt the urge to break free from anything!
Great book for kids... Easy to read and also easy to read aloud. You will enjoy this favorite!
My favorite Dahl novel. And not at all because I can identify with the book-loving protaganist. *wink*
