George's Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl Nominated By:Christopher Genre: Fantasy

George is an only child who lives with his mom, dad, and creepy grandma on a farm in the middle of nowhere. One day, both his mom and his dad have errands to do and George was left alone with his grandma. Since his grandma was getting old and frail she needed medicine every once-in-a-while. Since his grandma is very mean to him George decides to get rid of her. George was going to make a special "medicine" for his grandma out of all kinds of crazy things he could find around his house. It was not very hard for George to make the medicine, the challenges started to happen after he fed the medicine to his grandma. One reason why I nominated this book is because it is really unusual, especially for a book for kids. Normally grandmas are nice and kids are nice to their grandmas, but in this book it is the complete opposite. What happens is so absurd that it's funny again. You never know what to expect. The second reason I nominated this book is because the illustrations are so funny and creative. Roald Dahl always picks the perfect place to put an image.
