James and the Giant Peach
Roald Dahl
About This Book
***Roald Dahl's first and most widely celebrated book for young people continues to thrill readers around the world.***
**When James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree, strange things start to happen.** The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. When James discovers a secret entrance-way into the fruit and crawls inside, he meets wonderful new friends--the Old-Green-Grasshopper, the dainty Ladybug, and the Centipede of the multiple boots. ***After years of feeling like an outsider in his aunts' house, James finally found a place where he belongs. With a snip of the stem, the peach household starts rolling away--and the adventure begins!***
"This is a stunning book to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy."***--Chicago Tribune***
"A beautifully written, fantastic book."***--Christian Science Monitor***
