George's Marvellous Medicine


This book is called" George's Marvellous Medicine", written by Roald Dahl.
The story is about-Young George mixes a medicine to make his nasty grandmother more likeable, and once she drinks it she grows to immense proportions. George's father wants the formula to breed a race of super-size livestock, but George can't duplicate the recipe. His fourth try is a potion that shrinks the drinker to nothing – and greedy Grandma drinks it with unexpected results!

Character study



George- He is a clever boy.

Grandma- She is not a very nice person. She thinks that caterpillars and slugs are delicious and likes to crunch on beetles best of all.

Phrase

"Be kind and nice to people"
From this phrase, I have learnt that if we are nasty to people and become a nuisance to them, they will not like you, like the grandma in this story.
