4.0

I love Roald Dahl, but I am becoming increasingly convinced that he loves cute endings, without thinking through the ramifications. I am still kinda traumatized that the little boy protagonist in Dahl's The Witches has to live out the rest of his life as a mouse, and didn't get changed back. In this book, the protagonist basically kills his grandmother. !!?? It was a cute book, but really not a good example to set for impressionable kids...
