James and the giant peach

When poor James Henry Trotter loses his parents in a horrible rhinoceros accident, he is forced to live with his two wicked aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. Then three years later he becomes the saddest and loneliest boy ever until a wizened old man in a dark-green suit gives James a bag of magic crystals that promise to reverse his misery forever. When James accidentally spills the crystals on his aunts' old peach tree a peach started to grow until it gets so big James goes in it and the peach falls down and rolls into the beach. As James was in the peach he met new friends such as a grasshopper, centipede, earthworm, and Miss Spider. Then when they are on the beach they try to figure out a way to fly out of the beach so they use birds and silk from the silk worm to fly across the ocean. When they are up high in the sky they meet cloud men and traveled all the way to the Empire Statebuilding and landed at the top of it. They came down and James and his friends ended up living in the seed of the peach tree.
This book was a great book although its a low level book i still enjoyed this book because it was one of the first book i finished when i was younger.
