Book Description:
When James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree, the peach at the very top of the tree starts growing. Before long it's as big as a house, and James discovers a secret entranceway into the mammoth fruit. When he crawls inside, James meets a bunch of friendly oversized insects. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling, and the adventure begins! Fans of this popular story will delight in the new humorous illustrations by Quentin Blake.

I remember loving this book when I read it in the 3rd grade, so I thought it would be fun to reread. It's definitely a kid's book; I've been spoiled by JK Rowling. I will keep this around for my kids because it's a fun, fantasy tale, but pretty boring for an adult.
A little magic can take you a long way. One of Roald Dahl's favorite tales.
