George's Marvellous Medicine




The much-loved Roald Dahl story, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look

Brought to you by Penguin.

\"The rule would be this: whatever George saw, if it was runny or powdery or gooey, it went in . . .\"

George Kranky's grandma is a grouch. She's always mean to George (and not much nicer to his parents), and LOVES being mean and miserable!

One when George is put in charge of giving Grandma her medicine, he wonders if he could make his own remedy to try and help Grandma become less of a grump.

So, using some rather unusual ingredients, George creates his magic medicine*. But will it stop his grandma from being so horrible . . . or will it blow off the top of her head?!

*WARNING: Do NOT try to make George's Marvellous Medicine yourselves at home. It could be dangerous.
