This story is about James Henry Trotter who lives with his two mean aunts and he ends up going on an adventure like no other. He discovers a hole in a giant peach in his garden and crawls into it. What follows is a thrilling time with his new friends, Centipede, Miss Spider, Old Green Grasshopper, Earthworm, Ladybug, Glowworm, and Silkworm.

It was really unusual that Aunt Spiker and Sponge got flattened and sadly died. Well, kind of happily. But there was no funeral.

I found this book a little scary with all big bugs, I think I will prefer this book when I’m older.

I liked this book. I thought James' aunts were not very nice. I was pleased when James made some friends inside the peach. I liked the bit at the end when they landed in America and the police helped them.
