Charlies fantastiske oplevelser begynder, da han finder en guldseddel i en chokoladestang. Han er en af de fem heldige, der vinder et besøg i Willy Wonkas mystiske chokoladeimperium og alt det slik, han kan spise i resten af sit liv. Og hvem vil ikke gerne besøge en fabrik, der fremstiller sliktapeter til børneværelser, tyggegummi, der aldrig mister smagen og bolsjer, der skifter farve hvert tiende sekund? Men besøget på chokoladefabrikken er fuld af både overraskelser og farer, og ikke alle fem børn føler sig lige heldige under besøget ? Flere af Roald Dahls moderne klassikere er blevet filmatiseret. Det gælder Mathilda, Heksene og Charlie og Chokoladefabrikken, der nu for anden gang er blevet filmatiseret, denne gang instrueret af Tim Burton med Johnny Depp i rollen som Willy Wonka. Filmen får dansk premiere 30. september 2005. Omslag: TM & copyright: Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (s05)

Dette er ikke et eventyr. Det handler om rigtige hekse. Og rigtige hekse flyver ikke rundt på kosteskafter. Du kan faktisk sidde ved siden af en heks helt uden at vide det. De ser nemlig ud som ganske almindelige, søde damer, men de er ondskabsfulde og beregnende væsner - som i øvrigt afskyr børn! Så meget at de vil gøre alt for at dræbe dem, hvis de opsnuser bare så meget som lugten af et barn. Og nu planlægger Overheksen at gøre det af med alle Englands børn på én gang. Kan nogen mon stoppe hende?Hovedpersonen i Heksene gør, hvad han kan. Hans seje, norske mormor har lært ham alt, hvad hun ved om disse frygtelige væsener. Og alligevel undgår drengen ikke heksenes forbandelse…Heksene er et pragteksempel på Roald Dahls evne til både at fornøje og forskrække, og med John Kenn Mortensens både ildevarslende, skøre og smukke illustrationer kan en ny generation af børn nu gyse over de børnehadende hekse.Pressen skriver: » […] herligt illustreret i en grotesk, humoristisk stil, som klæder en historie, der stadig vil fange børn i målgruppen og være en fornøjelse at læse op.«– Elisabeth Bennetsen, Lektør »Vi elsker Roald Dahl herhjemme. Han er en mester til at fortælle. Du skal købe denne udgave, fordi John Kenn Mortensen har lavet en række helt unikke illustrationer, som understreger historieren til fulde. Han er klart en af Danmarks bedste illustratorer til det lidt uhyggelige.«- Maria Bruun Fanø, Onsdagsavisen»Er man til gys, er Heksene det rigtige valg. De ondskabsfulde damer, som ligner almindelige mennesker, hader børn, og de dræber de unger, de kan få fingre i. Genudgivelsen af den skrækindjagende fortælling er krydret med nye og særdeles skøre samt mareridts-skabende illustrationer af John Kenn Mortensen. Det er i det hele taget en voldsomt uhyggelig historie, som det kræver gode nerver at komme igennem.«**** - Helle Kastholm Hansen, Ekstra Bladet»Heksene af Roald Dahl, er en helt fantastisk bog […] det lettilgængelige sprog med til, at jeg fløj over siderne, og der gik ikke lang tid før bogen var slut.  Alt i alt var bogen en fantastisk oplevelse. Efter jeg læste denne bog, føler jeg mig nu som en ekspert i hekse.«9/10 stjerner - Bookeater »En elsket børnebogsklassiker, som skræmte begge mine børn fra vid og sans. Til deres store fornøjelse!«- Trine Færge Haurits Nielsen, Midtjyllands Avis

Den 21. juli får sommerens helt store familiefilm premiere i landets biografer: Steven Spielberg har filmatiseret sin egen yndlings-børnebog, Roald Dahls Den Store Venlige Kæmpe. Holdet bag projektet har arbejdet sammen før – nemlig på kultfilmen E.T.!Den Store Venlige Kæmpe er en både varm og sjov fortælling om den lille Sofie, der en nat opdager en kæmpemæssig SVK uden for sit vindue – lige midt i heksetimen, hvor små børn har det med at forsvinde. Men SVK står heldigvis for Stor Venlig Kæmpe og faktisk er denne her slet ikke på jagt efter børn, men deres drømme, som den samler på! Det ved Sofie bare ikke, så da hun bliver slæbt af sted mod de menneskeædende kæmpers land, er hun sikker på, at hun aldrig vender tilbage …E.T., der stadig den dag i dag er blandt de mest succesfulde Spielberg-film nogensinde, blev verdenskendt for at blande det uhyggelige med det sjove, det mørke med det lyse, og på samme måde handler også Den Store Venlige Kæmpe om en outsider, der ikke rigtig hører til, men alligevel finder et uventet venskab.Både børn og deres voksne vil få en masse ud af den finurlige, spændende og sjove historie om Sofie og Den Store Venlige Kæmpe. Højtlæsning fra ca. 6 år, selvlæsning fra ca. 9.Pressen skriver: »Roald Dahls historie er gakket og hygsomt uhyggelig, men den er ikke mindst en vidunderlig oplevelse af sprogforbistringer i et klassisk eventyr med sjove, sproglige krimskramserier, hvoraf flere garanteret vil blive hængende efter endt oplæsning. Stor cadeau til oversætteren, der i sin tid skabte vendinger som »Nu bliver jeg mere figen end nys« og »fismorståelse«. Den Store Venlige Kæmpe er en »nyderig« og »glumbiøs« historie.«**** - Kari Sønsthagen, Berlingske»Humoren […] er mørk, finurlig og ofte sprogligt forankret. Man kan ikke andet end at smile, mens man læser […] Jeg kan helt klart anbefale børn og barnlige sjæle at tage med på et eventyr med Den Store Venlige Kæmpe!«8/10 stjerner – bookeater.dk

Roald Dahls dystermuntre mesterværk, Heksene, er nu endelig tilgængelig som grafisk roman. Kvinden bag er den Eisner-prisvindende kunstner Pénélope Bagieu, der også har skabt Cobolts Skamløs-serie. Hekse findes, og de er meget, meget farlige. De går i almindeligt tøj, har almindelige jobs og de bor i helt almindelige byer verden over - og så er der intet, de foragter mere end børn. Så meget at de har planer om at forvandle alle Englands børn om til mus. Heksenes otte-årige hovedperson og hans norske bedstemor er måske de eneste i verden, der kan forhindre den grusomme plan. De fleste kender historien og det hæsblæsende forløb på et kurhotel i Sydengland. Men at se det i billeder er en anden ting. Pénélope Bagieu fortæller om betydningen af få lov til at genskabe Dahls værk: »Der var nogle specifikke scener, som jeg ikke kunne vente med at tegne, især dem, der havde skræmt mig, da jeg selv var otte år. Heksene er som skabt til at blive omdannet til en grafisk roman; den har alle ingredienserne til det: skøre actionscener, forfærdelige skurke og farverige figurer.«
