James And The Giant Peach
(Roald Dahl)
James Henry Trotter's young life seems anything but ideal. When his parents are killed in a rhinoceros accident he is forced to live with his Aunts, Sponge and Spiker who are anything but pleasant. After three years he begins to think of himself as the saddest and loneliest boy that ever was. He thinks that he may be miserable for the rest of forever, but all that is changed one day when he meets a mysterious man and is given a box of green crystals guaranteed to help with his problems. This guarantee comes true when James spills the crystals near an old peach tree and magical things begin to happen as a peach takes root and begins to grow. At first it seems like even this magical event will be ruined by his Aunts who wish to use the peach for their own purposes, but James sneaks out of the house and comes to find that the peach is already home to several folks who don?t like his aunts any more than he does. All at once he makes the acquaintance of several garden residents, who were affected by the crystals much as the peach, including: grasshopper, lady bug, spider, centipede, earthworm, and glow worm all with distinct personalities and ideas on the situation. With a magical snap of a peach stem the peach rolls away taking James and his new friends away from their old lives and into a series of adventures, including a run in with hungry sharks and angry cloud people, which brings them closer together forming an odd family as they travel. When the insects bicker it?s generally James who steps forward to make the peace and to offer suggestions that keep them rolling, or in some cases floating, along until they reach their final destination of New York City.
