The BFG

Sophie, a young orphaned girl, is plucked from her bed by a mysterious giant. Instead of eating her, the giant, known as the BFG (Big Friendly Giant), reveals he is a collector of dreams and a purveyor of good ones. Together, they embark on a fantastical journey to stop the human-eating giants who threaten the human world.
