I loved James and the Giant Peach. As to the question about ciifsasicatlon, I think these days books that are not quite Young Adult level are termed “Middle Readers”. “Chapter books,” on the other hand, describe those books that signify the first step new readers take when they move away from chapter-less children’s books and into their first early readers divided into chapters. It was an important distinction to my children, as I recall. They were excessively pleased when they became good enough readers to move into the reading of books with chapters.
