Bring the entire family to enjoy this tasty tale about James Henry Trotter “the saddest and loneliest boy you could find� and how his life is turned upside-down when he spills a bag of magic crystals on his aunts’ withered peach tree. This is the classic Roald Dahl story at its best.

When James Henry Trotter’s mother and father are killed in a tragic accident involving a charging rhinoceros, he is sent to live with his horribly cruel Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. Life is very hard for poor James until one day he meets a very old man who gives him a mysterious gift of the strongest magic ever! When James accidentally spills the magic onto the ground near the old peach tree, incredible things begin to happen. James then sets off on a wonderful journey inside a giant peach with his new friends, Old Grasshopper, Glow Worm, Ladybug, Centipede, Silkworm, Spider and Earthworm. James keeps the peach afloat and his friends out of danger as they sail all the way to New York City and a hero’s welcome.
