BOOK REVIEW # 8 JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH

James and the Giant Peach

By Roald Dahl

My Rating ★★★★☆

I liked it, it's about a boy named James who goes to live on top of a hill with his two aunts after his parents died. Their names are Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge and he is not allowed to leave the hill. After living with his aunts for three years a man gives him a bag full of tiny green things, but then James fell and spilled them on the ground by an old peach tree that hasn't grown a peach for years. Soon after, a peach starts to grow from the tree and it keeps getting bigger and bigger until it's the size of a house and Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge start charging people to come look at it while James is locked in his room. Later when everyone leaves he's sent outside to pick up garbage but instead he goes to the peach and he discovers a hole near the bottom of the peach. He then crawls through the hole up to the center of the peach and he goes through a door and he enters into the peach stone to find a bunch of huge bugs that can talk. There is a ladybug, a centipede, a spider, an earth worm and some others. James becomes friends with the bugs and he stays and  sleeps in the middle of the peach. In the morning they take off rolling down the hill. If you want to find out what happens to James and his friends then you'll have to read the book. I borrowed the movie from the library, but I watched like 5 minutes of it and I didn't like it at all. The book was much better.
