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...

This is about a boy named James and his two aunts that make him do chores for them. And James encountered a big peach (this is fictional!). He tried to get it but his aunts found out that he found a big peach. The aunts decided to sell it for more money. So while they were gone, James had gotten INSIDE the peach! Well, I don't want to spoil all of it for you. Thanks!
this is a book about a boy named james who is mistreated and found a hole in a really bog peach and finds creachers living in it.
This book was very fun to read. I liked the part where the silk worm and the spider were spinning the string to attach to the seagulls. It was very interesting but impossible. I would recommend Roald Dahl's other books because they are also really good.
