From the bestselling writer of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG!

After James Henry Trotter’s parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is not any fun, until James by chance drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and ordinary things begin to happen. The peach on the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it is as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friends—Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!
Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel is now a motion picture from The Walt Disney Company, and this version of James and the Giant Peach grew out of the making of the movie. Lane Smith, conceptual artist for the film, has given James and company a new and arresting look, much in the style of his many highly regarded books, such as Math Curse and The Stinky Cheeseman. Karey Kirkpatrick, the film’s screenwriter, created a text that may be true to the spirit of Dahl’s original, and deftly pulls young readers into the remarkable story. All in all, it is a peach of a book sure to be the pick of each and every child’s bookshelf!
