The Gregg family loves hunting, but their eight-year-old neighbor can't stand it. After countless pleas for them to stop are ignored, she has no other choice -- she has to put her magic finger on them. Now the Greggs are a family of birds, and like it or not, they're going to find out how it feels to be on the other end of the gun.

It was really funny when she turned her neighbours in to geese.
it is silly so if you like silly and magic you might like this book but even you might not like it
As much as I love Dahl's longer books like Matilda, his shorter stories are amazing. I love this one especially because it is really funny!
it is amazing and funny, it is 100% one of my most favorite books! Roald Dahl is such a good author I recommend all his books!
I love this book bc it's very interesting but not true and is a make believe. Haha! (DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME) :D
it is the best story by Roald Dahl
The Magic Finger is fun and a story with imaginations.
The Magic Finger is funny, heartwarming and truly HILARIOUS! Read on, if you dare, but remember one thing - you'll get more than a thousand laughs reading this!
It's really funny when she punishes her teacher Ms.Winter and she turns into a cat.I think Mr.Gregg and his family should've stayed as birds.The birds were funny though.Especially that duck that cooked on Mrs.Gregg's stove.The Coopers are super weird.Yall' still shooting!?
