Books review

I had read the book “James and the Giant Peach” last. It is an excellent book. The author is Roald Dahl. It is a fiction book.

(The cover of the book)

James Henry Trotter is the hero of this book. This book is based on him. Aunt Sponge was fat and was short in height and her cruelty was more than her stomach.

Aunt Spiker is thin and tall. She is very cruel too — Poor James. He has to do everything his aunt say to .

Ms Spider is and lovely saver. She had woven mote like hundreds of threads to save themselves.

The silkworm had helped them too. He sleeps around all day and night.

The old green grasshopper is a wise and patient little { of course all insects are small and scary to humans } grasshopper.

The glowworm gives light to all fellow insects.

The earthworm is a blind and scared insect. He and centipede fight a lot.

Centipede is a proud insect with forty-two [42] foot. He is too confident.

Mrs Ladybug is a kindhearted, middle-aged ladybug who hates rudeness.

James Henry Trotter is a boy who lives with his parents in a house by the sea happily. Unfortunately, when he is four years old, an escaped rhinoceros from the zoo kills James’ parents, forcing him to live with his two aunts, Spiker and Sponge, who are terrible bullies. Instead of caring for him, they treat him badly, feed him improperly and force him to sleep on bare floorboards.

This is a small part of the book.

As you read the little boy had a perfect life. He lived by the sea and had many friends. But his parents died as a rhinoceros had stripped them and he lived with his cruel Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. A stranger gave him a powdery substance which would change James life. He fell and …. all of the powder fell done and the powder went in the parts of the grasshopper, spider, glowworm, earthworm, centipede, silkworm and ladybug. It had also reached the roots of a peach tree which never happened to give a peach. That day an enormous peach was grown. The aunts used the peach to earn money and James was told to clean the yard. The hungry fellow found a hole. He started walking through it and ended finding his friend grasshopper, spider, glowworm, earthworm, centipede, silkworm and ladybug. He spends his night there with his friends. The next morning the peach started rolling and squished his aunts and they started their journey …………..

read the book further to see how their journey ends
