James and the Giant Peach

Young, orphaned James Trotter is sent to live with his two wicked aunts on a hillside by the seat. Life with Aunts Sponge and Spiker - who make James wait on them hand and foot - is lonely and sad... it's the pits. James' luck begins to change when he is gifted a mysterious bag of crocodile tongues believed to bring marvelous and magical things. And do they ever! One giant peach, five oversized (and talking!) bugs, and many seagulls later, James and his new friends are off on an exciting adventure across the Atlantic. High over the ocean, destination unknown, this unlikely crew sails to new and fantastical heights, proving that courage and ingenuity can overcome all odds. (Best for ages 4-10.)
