Roald Dahl young adults favorite author

Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr Fox, are to name a couple of books from the ingenious mind of Roald Dahl. He is the most sought after young adult author. Frowned upon by many because of his black and white stories. A great enough reason to be desired by teenagers with a lot of angst. I am one of those teenagers, well was one of those teenagers. But up until today I still read Matilda, still watch the Danny Devito Movie. And I, still ,always cry at the end.
