James Henry Trotter lives with two ghastly hags. Aunt Sponge is enormously fat with a face that looks boiled and Aunt Spiker is bony and screeching. He's very lonely until one day something peculiar happens. At the end of the garden a peach starts to grow and GROW AND GROW. Inside that peach are seven very unusual insects - all waiting to take James on a magical adventure. But where will they go in their GIANT PEACH and what will happen to the horrible aunts if they stand in their way? There's only one way to find out . .Thoughts
My stepson got a collection of Roald Dahl books for Christmas and I decided to read some of them. The first one I grabbed was James and the Giant Peach (I absolutely love the movie).I loved the fantastical adventure, and just how James finds a family in his shipmates on the peach after the death of his parents, and his horrid aunts.
I couldn't pick a favourite character as all of them on the peach were fantastic, and just brought something to the story
What more is there to say about Roald Dahl books, they are just so magical and a great way to escape even if it is only for one day.
