{"product_id":"james-and-the-giant-peach-4","title":"James and the Giant Peach","description":"From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG!\n\nRoald Dahl was a champion of the underdog and all things little—in this case, an orphaned boy oppressed by two nasty, self-centered aunts. How James escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero is a Dahlicious fantasy of the highest order. You will never forget resourceful little James and his new family of magically overgrown insects—a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm, a silkworm, and the chronic complainer, a centipede with a hundred gorgeous shoes. Their adventures aboard a luscious peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating sharks and skies inhabited by malevolent Cloudmen, to a ticker-tape parade in New York City.\n\nThis happily ever after contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know. And Lane Smith's endearingly funny illustrations are a perfect match for the text.\n\n\"All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight.\" —Kirkus Reviews\n\n\"A stunning book, to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy.\" —The Chicago Tribune\n\n\"The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time...[it] may well become a classic.\" —San Francisco Chronicle.
