JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH (ROALD DAHL)

 



James is treated vilely by his two aunts ever since his parents death when he was 4. But one day something happens which changed James’ life. An old man suddenly appears and gives him a package of wonderful things that would bring him a new life. James mishandled the package and dropped it at the foot of the peach tree. The tiny things burrowed into the ground towards the roots of the peach tree. That day, the dead peach tree flowered! The peach growing on it became simply enormous, and it kept growing until it became the size of a small house. That night James climbed into a tunnel carved into the side of the peach and marvelous, wonderful things began happening to him…

This book is funny because there is no way a peach can grow to become the size of a house. And then how was it able to float (I just learned right now in Physics)?

I recommend this book to children of ages 8+.

THE HOWLER RATING: ★★★★☆
