Hi, I just finished this book it's very cool and engaging. My fav part is when the peach turns into a place for all of the kids to hang out. Also I think aunt Spiker and aunt Sponge are mean and just jealous of James mother. Which btw she died. But over all the book was fun and funny . 👍

The main character in this book is James. In the beginning, his two aunts were very mean to him. And then one day, they saw a peach on a tree and noticed that it was growing. James noticed a hole in the peach and then he crawled inside. He found a little door and met a centipede, a glow worm, a green grasshopper, an earthworm, a silkworm, and a spider. This book is easy to read. I would recommend this book.

James is depressed. He has a lonely life with only his two horrible aunts as company. But, one day, an old man gives Percy a bag full of gems. He tells James that these jewels have great power, and to not let his aunts get it. Unfortunately, James trips. The gems spill and seep into the ground, and they encounter some bugs. The bugs grow huge, along with the peach that also encounters the jewels. When James goes into the peach, it starts rolling and soon, with James's clever thinking, begins flying! On the journey, they encounter Cloud-Men, sharks, and more. Their journey ends in a place far away from where James lived...
