This book is about a boy named James, who lives with his aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. He ended up living with them because his mother and father went to London to do some shopping and then something really terrible happened. They suddenly got eaten by an angry rhinoceros that escaped from the zoo. So James had no choice but to live with his Aunts. His Aunts were mean people and made him work hard in their garden and didn't receive anything for his hard work. One night, he went outside and saw a small, old man whose face was covered with brisky, black whiskers. He gave James these tiny, green seed-like things that make everything grow to an enormous size, and left. I really enjoyed this book so much.
