James & The Giant Peach...a Book Review by Angelina

Have you ever been in a giant edible ball? Well this kid has…. James Henry Trotter lives with two ghastly hags. Aunt sponge is enormously fat with a face that looks boiled and Aunt Spiker is bony and screeching.James is very lonely until one day something peculiar happens. A peach begins to grow in the garden and inside are seven very install insects all waiting to take James on a magical adventure. Where will they go in their giant peach? There's only one way to find out.

James and the giant peach is written by the famous author Roald Dahl. Although this is a rather old book, published in 1961, it is enjoyable to read and captures attention. While Roald Dahl is the author of this book, his partner in most of his books such as the BFG, Esio Trot,Fantastic Mr.Fox and more is Quentin Blake as the illustrator most of Roald Dahl’s book are fictional and chapter including James the giant peach. This book is also really eye catching and interesting which captures lots of different age attention to read and take notice of this amazing book.

James And The Giant Peach is about friendship and courage.
James Henry Trotter lives a perfectly good life until one day his parents take place in a tragic event which seems James into misery and loneliness and is living with his two terribly mean Aunties, Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge.As he's in the garden he spots something big and o orange with a hint of red and yellow.He slowly walks towards it. He jumps over the fence, into the hill. While he trenches around the peach he sees a hole as big as him that's where the adventure begins…
And before he knew it he was in the middle of nowhere.James and the giant peach is actually realty's to a lot of things such as, The Twits,The Witches,The Hobbit and even though it's a fantasy story they are lots of events in the book that are related to the real-life-human-world.

Even so James and the giant peach is still very unique it has lots of really interesting and memorable moments .Roald Dahl press lots of different messages and thoughts of his own into his stories.But the main one I saw in James and the giant peach was that anything unexpected things can happen at any time.

I just like losing your loved ones, it's something you wouldn't think of happening to you. But to be real it can happen to you at any second, minute or day.
But overall this book was incredibly magnificent. I really recommend to read it because since it had lots of descriptions and it had lots of humour add well as the outstanding books and backfills.
I think we've all learnt something in the end….
Read James and the giant peach!
