This is an adventure about a young boy named James who escapes his miserable life with his cruel aunts by entering a magical giant peach. Inside, he meets a group of friendly talking insects. Together they go on a journey filled with excitement and danger.
I was torn between pick and so-so. This is my 2nd read and my kids love it, but reading it out loud sucks. I love Roald Dahl and usually love his made up words but the giant only speaks in them. So my kids stop me from reading to discuss what does he mean? Eventually I just read the words he was intending to say so we could get into the story and just said some like phizzwizard.

Fun book about Roald Dahl's further adventures as a young man. In Africa and as a RAF pilot in N. Africa and Greece during WW2.
