Summary
Add a SummaryI have finished the book called, “James and the Giant Peach” by Roald Dahl a fantasy book. The central idea or main idea is that James is the protagonist. He lives with his aunt. He had some magical crystals. Then one night he dropped the magical crystals on an old tree and the tree transformed into a giant peach! Then James went to look for an entrance into the peach. When he had crawled inside he found Grasshopper, Ladybug, Centipede, Spider, Worm and more. When the stem of the peach broke off it rolled all the way down there Spider had to come up and spider web the seagulls otherwise they would all sink and die! With the seagulls help and the Spiders help they have survived. Later the seagulls drop them off at the top of the Empire state building, at the top. The cops were at the base and 3 of them fainted. What will happen next?

Add a Commentvery entertaining book by michael
When I read this book I was really supprised when I read the whole book. If you read the whole book,you should see the DVD
I read this book aloud to my 6 year old son. It is the first chapter book that really grabbed him. At the end of almost every chapter he would ask, "Can we read just ONE more chapter." The illustrations really helped him transition from picture book to chapter book as well.
it was a really good book!
What a wonderful story! Poor James is so lonely but then magic comes into his life and he ends up with more friends than he could ever have imagined! It's a pity these sort of cures for loneliness don't happen in real life! But they sure make for a fun tale!
I think this is my favourite Roald Dahl book. He is so imaginative!
Had this read to me as a kid and I absolutely loved it. Includes illustrations and such an amazing storyline that on its own brings the characters to life.
Great book! Highly recommend it to children and teens also. Not because is not that long it doesn't mean that teens can't read it. I think is a really good story, plus kids and people can use their imagination a lot ( Which is the reason I liked it).
