And very strange things have begun to happen . . .

Ratings and reviews

I rate this one because why do this book has 9 pages others like BFG,Matilda has alot of pages you could have put 60 pages or 40 😡

Another amazing book from Roald Dalh. I like the way he used good children for books and often they parents behave bad with the children

The story is alright but it's VERY short. I read. The whole story in about 20 minutes. Not worth the £3 something I paid for it.
