Book Review (Audio)
Meet James and His Horrid Aunts
Poor James Henry Trotter. He’d rather face a whole team of fast bowlers than spend another minute with his aunts! Aunt Sponge is big and bossy, always scolding him like an umpire. Aunt Spiker is thin and sharp, her voice cutting like broken glass.
But whispers of magic are in the air…a mysterious old man lurks in the shadows, his eyes gleaming like embers. Will this be James’ escape, or the start of an even bigger nightmare?
The Magic Begins (and Grows!)
Thanks to a bag of magical crystals (think pixie dust with a bit more oomph!), a single peach on Aunt Sponge and Spiker’s withered tree starts to grow. Not just a little – we’re talking a peach the size of a majestic elephant! Driven by curiosity (and a healthy dose of desperation), James tumbles inside the giant fruit, setting off a chain of events that will leave you giggling uncontrollably.
