James and the Giant Peach
Summary
-James is a happy kid living on the English seaside until he gets some bad news: His parents were, strangely, killed by a rhino and he is sent to live with his two horrid aunts: Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge. When he saves a spider from being killed, he magically comes into the possession of magic boiled crocodile tongues, which cause a giant peach to grow in his garden. When he goes inside, he meets not only the spider he saved the life of, but a few of its friends. Including a ladybug, a centipede, who all try and help him get to New York

I'm a girl born in the wrong decade. I belong in the 1960s or the 1970s in my opinion. I bleed tie dye, my theme music is anything 1960s rock or 1970s rock or metal. I'm a hippie through and through. But also a hippie who loves old metal music. I believe that violence never solves anything, so why resort to it to solve problems? With all the wars the world has seen, there should be a clue somewhere in there!
