Captured by a giant! The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher, or any of the other giants-rather than the BFG-she would have soon become breakfast. ]]> 2016-10-01 18:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha_speakes/8y8op5deqkz2/wish/127690786 samantha_speakes https://padlet.com/samantha_speakes/8y8op5deqkz2/wish/127691155 Raina Telgemeir.
