     James finds himself in an unpleasant situation after his parents suffer a tragic accident.  He is left to two of his aunts where he is constantly mistreated.  A series of events leads to a giant peach growing in the backyard.  James develops wonderful friendships with the insects in the story.  At the end, James continues to find satisfaction and comfort in his new found friends.  With this story, imaginations run high. Enjoyed it!
