My favourite books are by Roald Dahl. I like them because there are a lot of hilarious stories.
Among all of Roald Dahl’s books, my favourite is The Twits. It is about two characters named Mr Twit and Mrs Twit playing pranks on each other, like putting worms in the other person’s spaghetti, making someone’s walking stick longer, sending others flying with hydrogen balloons, and many more pranks.
Another book by this author is called Matilda. It is about a clever girl called Matilda trying to get revenge on her school’s mean and evil headmistress, Agatha Trunchbull.
Somehow, she managed to get telekinesis by using her eyes to focus on the headmistress and sending her flying out of the school through the roof. These books have also been made into movies because they were so good. I like these books because they have hilarious stories, and some other books by him, like James and the Giant Peach, have a very peculiar story behind them.
I hope people will also like reading Roald Dahl’s books and have a great time.
