Are you sick? If you are, you gotta have some of George's Marvelous Medicine! George's Marvelous Medicine is a book where George's grandma is the meanest grandma on the block. So George decides to make a medicine that will fix his Grandma's attitude forever. George tries a couple of times to fix Grandma with surprising results. You must read it to find out what happens next. This fun filled book is funny, inspiring, and joyful. I hope you enjoy George's Marvelous Medicine.

M.W.- Class Pick
Do you have a grumpy old relative or a bully that you want to get rid of? Well, in the book George's Marvelous Medicine, George has the same problem. George is an 8 year old boy who has to spend the day with his "horrid, grouchy, grizzly, old grunion of a grandma." Luckily George gets an amazing plan to give his grandma a taste of her own medicine (literally.) Read this book and see what George puts in his recipe and what happens to his grandma.

B.C. - Class Pick
"You're growing too fast, George!" Grandma said. George does not like the cranky, mean, old grandma. How could George find a way to get Grandma to be just a little bit nicer? Grumpy Grandma had never gotten off of her chair in a very long time. Finally, George thought of it! He would make a Marvelous Medicine. Just wait until Grandma drinks this! Read George's Marvelous Medicine to find out what happens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dahl and his antics, October 30, 2008

By	Megan Deperro (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have read Matilda, The Witches, The Twits, and more of Roald Dahl's wonderful books to children of all ages, all economic levels, and from all over the world. Dahl has an amazing ability to captivate any audience. He also allows children to view Norwegian and British cultures.
His books are hilarious, full of rhymes, puns, metaphors, and rich with vocabulary. Dahl can take any reader, from age 5 to 95, to a whole new world.
Strongly, strongly recommend Matilda, The Witches, and especially Boy for children, teens, AND adults. Whether someone reads to them or they read alone.
