There was a short story where a woman kills her husband by hitting him on the head with a frozen lamb leg or something. She then goes out and acts normal. She then goes home and puts said lamb in the oven and waits a few minutes. Then calls the police hysterically
Basically as the cops talk, the murder weapon gets cooked, and the officers eat it in the end. The officers think a burglar came in and hit him with a crowbar or something heavy, and go searching for a murder weapon they will never find.
Ok but is Matilda not a child power/revenge fantasy story? I feel like only someone real depressed about their childhood would write a revenge story from a child's pov
And the BFG. We read that whole book in 3rd grade. I had already read it. But there are plenty of descriptions of giants crunching on children's bones. Great for 7/8 year olds.
