The Magic Finger

The fictional book The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl is about the Greggs when they try to survive their new life as birds after a girl cursed them with her magic finger. The main characters are the Greggs. The Gregg family is made of a wife, a husband, and two sons, Philip and William. The men in the family love to hunt, not for survival, but just for the sport of it! Everyone of them has a gun, even Philip, who is only eight! The main problem are the results of the magic finger. It turned them into human-bird hybrids, and the ducks they were chasing are now bird-human hybrids. What a disaster! I love the conflicts the the Greggs face in this story. From learning to fly, all the way to how to build a sturdy nest. The characters are so interesting, with humans with bird’s wings! I also love the unexpected change in the Greggs feelings toward animals. It made me feel warm inside with joy and happiness. -Serena
