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.
