A giant peach becomes the vehicle for James’s escape.

After losing his parents and being sent to live with his cruel aunts, James Henry Trotter finds an opening for change when magic crystals transform an old peach into something enormous. What follows is a journey set in motion by the peach itself, with James joined inside by outsized insect companions including Grasshopper, Centipede, and Ladybug. The adventure combines an unusual mode of travel, fantastical transformation, and a child’s movement away from an oppressive home. This paperback edition adds a scratch-and-sniff peach-scented cover as a physical feature of the book.

Book overview

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, and Matilda comes a children's classic that has captured young readers' imaginations for generations--now featuring a peach-scented scratch-and-sniff cover!

"James and the Giant Peach remains a favorite among kids and parents alike . . . thanks to its vivid imagery, vibrant characters and forthright exploration of mature themes like death and hope."--Time (100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time)

After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friends--Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!

Teeming with imagination, humor, and friendship, this "peachy" scented edition of James and the Giant Peach is sure to bring readers along for the ride!
