We all have our moments of brilliance and glory, and this was mine.
This beautiful edition of Boy, part of The Roald Dahl Classic Collection, features official archive material from the Roald Dahl Museum and is perfect for Dahl fans old and new.
So, enter a world where invention and mischief can be found on every page and where magic might be at the very tips of your fingers . . .
Boy is Roald Dahl’s brilliantly entertaining look back at his own early years. This autobiographical account captures his school days and family life, told with trademark dark humour and (one presumes) a healthy dose of artistic licence. From sweetshop pranks to gruelling medical procedures, the real-life characters feel just as vividly drawn as the heroes and villains of his best-known fiction.
A great, classic choice for Year 5 or Year 6 autobiography or class read-aloud.
A resource pack provided by the publisher to accompany the book Boy.
