James and the Giant Peach
by Roald Dahl

"A little magic can take you a long way...

When James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree, strange things start happening. The peach at the very tip of the tree starts growing, and growing, and growing... until it's as big as a house! When James crawls inside, he meets a houseful of oversized friends-- Grasshopper, Centipede, Earthworm, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the adventure begins!"

The Witches

Book #4 in 2011

The Witches
by Roald Dahl

" 'A REAL WITCH is easily the most dangerous of all the living creatures on earth.'

That's a pretty horrifying thought. More horrifying still is that real witches don't even look like witches. They don't ride around on broomsticks. They don't even wear black cloaks and hats. They are vile, despicable, scheming harridans who disguise themselves as nice, ordinary ladies.

So how can you tell when you're face to face with one? Read this story and you'll find out all you need to know. You'll also meet a real hero, a wise old grandmother and the most gruesome, grotesque gang of witches imaginable!"

Love this book.

Haven't read it since I was little. In probably about ten years. Mommy read it to me last in about one sitting when I was super sick. First time I've ever read it on my own.
