Book description
The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl is the story of little Lucy and
the bad Greggs family. . .
The Magic Finger is something I've been able to do all my life. I
can't tell you just how I do it, because I don't even know myself. But
it always happens when I get cross . . . and suddenly a sort of flash
comes out of me, a quick flash, like something electric. It jumps out
and touches the person who has made me cross . . .
