But before long something dreadful happened she turned the Greg family into a family of... Well don't be so upset,you can read it yourself you know!

3.0 out of 5 stars Hunters are horrid, 13 Jan 2008
The Greggs are hunters who will shoot anything in the woods for fun. The little eight year old girl (who is always unnamed) who lives next door can't stand hunting of the ducks - and one day, she gets so mad that she puts the "magic finger" on them. The next morning, the Greggs wake up bird sized, complete with wings ... and that's just the beginning of their problems. I would rate this book a fabulous 7/ 10 because I think Roald Dahl should have named the girl. Overall, this book is just over the rating of a standard book. This book is a classical Roald Dahl which is much loved by millions!
