{"product_id":"dahl-roald-james-and-the-giant-peach-9780140374247","title":"James and the Giant Peach","description":"From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG! Roald Dahl was a champion of the underdog and all things little-in this case, an orphaned boy oppressed by two nasty, self-centered aunts. How James escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero is a Dahlicious fantasy of the highest order. You will never forget resourceful little James and his new family of magically overgrown insects-a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm, a silkworm, and the chronic complainer, a centipede with a hundred gorgeous shoes. Their adventures aboard a luscious peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating sharks and skies inhabited by malevolent Cloudmen, to a ticker-tape parade in New York City. This happily ever after contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know. And Lane Smith's endearingly funny illustrations are a perfect match for the text. \"All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight.\" -Kirkus Reviews \"A stunning book, to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy.\" -The Chicago Tribune \"The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time...[it] may well become a classic.\" -San Francisco Chronicle","brand":"Penguin Young Readers Group","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53473271251286,"sku":"9780140374247-V","price":4.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53407999164758,"sku":"9780140374247-G","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780140374247_1.jpg?v=1778052716","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/dahl-roald-james-and-the-giant-peach-9780140374247","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
