The Magic Finger 
Not my favourite Roald Dahl, it wasn't quite as magical or memorable as Matilda or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, nevertheless it was still a quick, fun story about talking ducks and a girl with a magic finger.
This was hilarious, wackadoodle, and carried a great message from the author. I have nothing against those people hunting animals for food; or doing so to keep animal populations in check, etc. but the Gregg family in this story, seemed to be doing it just to shoot things for fun. This is where the magic finger comes in. It seems a bit tricky. I love Dahl. Dahl seems to be sending a message that he doesnt condone the shooting and hunting of animals for no good reason.Especially not our clever

Hunting, for fun,* yuck -the thought is simply inter-species rudeness on a didn't-your-mother-teach-you-anything? level. Our heroine combines her supernatural gifts with fantastic logical consequences for adults - all in the name of one love. A lovely fable.*not for survival
This funny short novel was about animal rights.
