The Magic Finger Roald Dahl

The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl is a whimsical and thought-provoking children's book about a young girl who possesses a magical power that activates when she gets angry. When her neighbors, the Gregg family, continue to hunt ducks despite her repeated pleas, her magic finger unleashes its full force, transforming them into ducks themselves, forcing them to experience the world from the hunted's perspective and leading to a profound change in their values. The story explores themes of empathy, animal rights, and the consequences of our actions in a uniquely Dahl-esque way.
