George's Marvellous Medicine

Step into a world of chaotic concoctions, giant farm animals, and dark comedy with Roald Dahl's timeless classic, George's Marvellous Medicine! George Kranky is an ordinary eight-year-old boy who is left home alone with his grandmother—who isn't a sweet, lovely old lady at all. Instead, Grandma is a grizzly, miserable, tongue-clicking terror who loves to scare George and eat crunchy beetles. Deciding she needs a taste of her own medicine, George replaces her regular prescription with a magical, boiling broth made from everything he can find under the kitchen sink, in the bathroom cabinet, and out in the backyard barn. From shampoo and floor polish to engine oil and animal pills, George mixes a explosive potion that has an utterly mind-boggling, logic-defying effect when Grandma takes a spoonful. Featuring the legendary, whimsical illustrations of Quentin Blake, this hilarious story of domestic rebellion remains a favorite for young readers who love a bit of mischievous magic.
