George's Marvellous Medicine
by Roald Dahl
George has a grandma who is not the typical kind and helpful grandma. She is grumpy and grouchy, and he decides to teach her a lesson by creating a special medicine that is sure to have an explosive effect on her behavior. This bubbling, frothing mixture is designed to send his grandma "through the roof."
Dahl is known for writing memorable characters, and I cannot help but fondly recall the wicked grandmother. She's entitled, rude, and rivals any villain of childhood literature. After George makes the medicine, wackiness ensues. I found George's reasons for adding specific ingredients to be charming.
Kids will love this story, but it is important to remind them that mixing household chemicals and serving it to anyone as a "medicine" should only be done in fiction.
