The story

One night, Sophie, a smart and brave ten-year-old girl living in a London orphanage, catches sight of an elderly giant.

The giant creates a nightmare to prevent her from escaping, fearing she might be eaten by larger giants.

Despite the elderly giant's careful moving around the sleeping giants, Bloodbottler wakes up and grabs BFG as the other giants wake up.
