James and the Giant Peach

James and the Giant Peach
Review by Shelly Ness
100/146

I am reading a book called James and the Giant Peach and it is about a boy who's parents died when he was younger. He lives with 2 terrible aunts who act to him like they are his queens and he is a slave. One day a man gives him strange beans that whatever they touch makes it miserableness. James dropped the beans and a peach tree started growing. It had a big peach on it and it went bigger,bigger and bigger and it was as big as his aunt's house! The beans fell on some insects and made them grow big. Now, James decided to live in the peach with the insects and one day, they decided to get out of the garden and explore the world so they rolled the peach and they got in to the sea and sharks ate the peach but they managed to get it out with a crazy plan.

A new word I learned is Centipede and it is an insect with a 100 legs. Cen means 100 and pedes means legs so that's how they got the name!
