James and the Giant Peach

a novel by Roald Dahl
Poor James Henry Trotter, orphaned and trapped with two cruel aunts, watches a magic peach swell to the size of a house. Inside it he meets a crew of giant talking insects — and together they roll away on the adventure of a lifetime, across the sea and sky all the way to New York City. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel, each with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, an SAT®/TOEFL®-style test, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
