James from James & the Giant Peach. As a child i just wanted to find a giant peach and tunnel through it.

Matilda, she made her own way despite a bad start

George from George's Marvellous Medicine.
My Mum used to get cross when I made potions in the bathroom from all the products there.

Matilda is my favourite because i love to read as well!

James either with or without his giant peach! This was my first Roald Dahl novel and always my favourite.

It has to be the BFG who brings such humour to the story with his hilarious language. The serious side of the sad life of Sophie, befriended and taken on adventures with the BFG is very close to my heart having been a foster carer for 30 years and has enabled me to `educate firstly my children and now my grandchildren about the necessity of those of us who have so much to give both time and effort to those not so fortunate. It really is an awe-inspiring tale told around this central character of the BFG.

Matilda is my favourite character. Using the power inside of her to rise above the negative people around her.

Matilda

Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate factory is my favourite character

circe13 Mon 24-Sept-18 09:50:26

Fantastic Mr Fox is a brilliant story. I like the way he gets the better of the three farmers.

Lydia30 Mon 24-Sept-18 09:15:38

The BFG as he shows that you don't have to be the same as everybody else to be 'normal'

Nansypansy Mon 24-Sept-18 08:16:42

Definitely willie wonka because that’s the character the children relate to most.

yd1556 Mon 24-Sept-18 07:28:30

Charlie Bucket for his concern and love for his grandparents

Fantastic Mr Fox, such a likeable but cunning character.

Maren Sun 23-Sept-18 22:06:16

Sophie from the BFG - so courageous yet kind

greig23 Sun 23-Sept-18 21:44:56

Willy Wonka as he seems fun and genuine

chezvic Sun 23-Sept-18 21:29:16

Sophie from the BFG, I love her adventures and she’s such a believable little character

Bythebyes Sun 23-Sept-18 19:52:39

I love Matilda for her spirit. Not giving in and initiative

luckybean Sun 23-Sept-18 19:38:48

It has to be Willy Wonka. The whole family adore chocolate so we would have loved to have won that golden ticket!

Andii Sun 23-Sept-18 18:40:06

Matilda because she's smart, brave and a little bookworm!

amandadegregory Sun 23-Sept-18 18:13:18

Fantastic Mr Fox is my favourite. I love the fact that he is so clever and kind.

Nettie17 Sun 23-Sept-18 18:07:15

Matilda because she has the adults weighed up

willowcott Sun 23-Sept-18 18:04:17

The BFG fun but a bit scary

elodie17 Sun 23-Sept-18 17:53:36

I love Matilda xx

Charlie17 Sun 23-Sept-18 15:46:58

The clever and resourceful Mr Fox in ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’. My children loved this story when it first came out in the 1970’s.
