George's Marvellous Medicine

by Roald Dahl

Ages 6–9 Reading age 8 Short chapters Set in everyday life funnysilly

Fed up with his spiteful grandmother, George empties every bottle in the house into a saucepan and brews her a new medicine, with dramatic results.

A story about children and families, funny and silly in tone. We would put it with children of 6–9, and at a reading age of about 8 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
