James And The Giant Peach

by : Roald Dahl
Charlene Chang


Escaping from the beasts! How does James escape for his two mean and selfish aunts when they always lock James in an empty room?

In this fantastic book, James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl has a very poor kid called James Henry Trotter. He always gets tortured by his aunts and he is trying to get away.

One day, James got some magic powder but unluckily he spilled it and all the wonderful things that could have happened to James have......disappeared. Something strange started to happen after James dropped the magic powder, the peach on the peach tree started to grow and grow and grow until it was as big as a house. When James was told to clean up the garbage near the peach tree that night, he saw a hole in the peach. The hole was big enough to let James climb in. He climbs in and realizes that there are a lot of insects as big as a human. The insects bite the stem of and the adventure begins!

In this book, James is the main charter and he is a really good boy. He always helps people when they need it. For example: on page 60, the sharks are eating the peach and James thinks of a way to save the peach.

I think this book is fantastic and makes you want to read on and on again and again. I recommend mostly boys to read it and people who is are interested in magic.

Roald Dahl also wrote a lot of other great books like: The Magic Finger, The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Glass Elevator .Read them all!
