I liked reading this book. My favourite character was James. My least favourite character was Miss sponge and Miss spike. I’m glad that they had a happy ending and and that they lived in America. I would recommend a this book to my friends.

James and the Giant Peach is a fiction book about a boy called James who goes into a peach and sets off on an adventure. My favourite part of this book is when Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker get squashed by the peach. I recommend this book for avid readers aged 6+.

The story was creative and had funny parts, but it wasn’t my favourite. I liked the idea of a giant peach and the journey, but I didn’t really connect with the characters. I think others might enjoy it more than I did.

I read this in one night and one morning. my favourite character was James Henry Trotters. My least favourite characters were aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. Mummy told me about the Twin Towers when we looked up The Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.

It's a very adventurous story and like a high speed chase. It has a great variety of characters.

Nice book with James meeting some other unusual creatures. When Roald Dahl was first drafting the story he was going to write about a giant cherry floating down a river! The names suits the characters like aunt Sponge and aunt Spiker.

Mummy read this book to me. James is my favourite character because he got to go on an adventure in a giant peach and get away from his horrible aunties.

Favourite character was the centipede because he was funny and whinges about his boots. Another funny Roald Dahl book

I loved this book because James' aunts were always ordering him about and when the peach grew, they only used it at their advantage. That is when James run away in the peach the another city, using all his surroundings through the rough journey and that is why he wrote the book.

This was a great book to read and it brings out your imagination. It has really good description as it can make you think on how that person looks. This was a really good book read.
