James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was a champion of the underdog and all things little – in this case, an orphaned boy oppressed by two nasty, self-centred 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.

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

This classic tale of shipwreck and survival on an uninhabited island was an instant success when first published in 1719 and has inspired countless imitations. In his own words, Robinson Crusoe tells of the terrible storm that drowned all his shipmates and left him marooned on a deserted island. Forced to overcome despair, doubt, and self-pity, he struggles to create a life for himself in the wilderness.

From practically nothing, Crusoe painstakingly learns how to make pottery, grow crops, domesticate livestock, and build a house.
His many adventures are recounted in vivid detail, including a fierce battle with cannibals and his rescue of Friday, the man who becomes his trusted companion.
