Hallo liebe Leute,

da ich die letzte Runde fälschlicherweise mit der deutschen Ausgabe von Rowohlt verlinkt habe und nicht mit unserer englischen, müssen wir leider umziehen. Hier sind wir jetzt aber richtig und ihr könnt euch weiter austauschen. Keine Sorge, wenn ihr schon was zu dem Cover gesagt habt, müsst ihr euch hier auch nicht wiederholen! ;)

DAS BUCH

'Human beans is not really believing in giants, is they? Human beans is not thinking we exist.'
On a dark, silvery moonlit night, Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant. Luckily it is the Big Friendly Giant, the BFG, who only eats snozzcumbers and glugs frobscottle. But there are other giants in Giant Country. Fifty foot brutes who gallop far and wide every night to find human beans to eat. Can Sophie and her friend the BFG stop them?

DER AUTOR

Sitting in a hut at the bottom of his garden, surrounded by odd bits and pieces such as a suitcase (used as a footrest), his own hipbone (which he'd had replaced) and a heavy ball of metal foil (made from years' worth of chocolate wrappers), Roald Dahl wrote some of the world's best-loved stories including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, The Witches, The BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox, James and the Giant Peach and lots more.

DER ILLUSTRATOR

Quentin Blake is one of Britain's most successful illustrators. He has illustrated nearly three hundred books and he was Roald Dahl's favourite illustrator. He has won many awards including the Whitbread Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal and taught for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art. In 1999 he became the first ever Children's Laureate and in 2013 he was knighted in the New Year's Honours.
