It's the BFG by Roald Dahl!.
It's actually about a giant who creates dreams and blows them into children's windows; one night a little girl called Sophie who is an orphan spots him, so he takes her with him to the land of the giants!.
They make a plan to get rid of all the nasty giants (who eat children) by making the Queen of England have a dream about the giants, and she gets the army to sneak in and tie them all up and capture them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
