Our class novel this half term is
James and the Giant Peach
By Roald Dahl
Meet James and his new insect friends in this large, full-colour edition of Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach.
"...before he had time to glance up and see where he was, he heard a voice saying, 'Look who's here!' And another one said, 'We've been waiting for you!'"
When the old peach tree in the garden grows one magnificent, luscious peach - almost the size of a house - James Henry Trotter is able to escape the horrible life he had living with his two beastly aunts in a ramshackle old house with no toys or friends to play with, and no trips or treats.
