What type of story is James and the Giant Peach?

James and the Giant Peach is a wonderful story about a young boy and his adventure to New York City in a giant peach. James lives with his 2 horrible aunts who mistreat him and make him do everything. Then he meets an old man who gives him a bagful of crocodile tongues, strange little creatures who make dreams come true. One of these things makes its way to the old peach tree in the yard, and a peach suddenly grows on it. It swells up and turns into the biggest peach in the world. James takes a bite, and a hole forms in it. He crawls inside it and meets wonderful bug friends. The peach is detached from the tree and rolls into the Atlantic Ocean. But the crew ties up a flock of seagulls to the stem of the peach, and the peach becomes airborne. Eventually, they all land in new york, and "live happily ever after."


How many chapters are in James and the Giant Peach?

Now, in the book, James starts off being four, but is seven during the main part of the story. The movie is a little harder; in the beginning, there are six birthday candles on James' cake. However, we don't know how long he was living with his aunts for. I read somewhere that he was supposed to be nine in the movie, but until this can be confirmed, i would still guess that he is around six or seven.


What kind of spider is the spider from James and the Giant Peach?

The book never specifies directly. She is described as having a 'murderous black head', and is able to spin mesh-like webs as hammocks. Because the story is set in the south of England, it could be a safe assumption that she is a False Widow spider.
