For the first time in a decade, Willy Wonka, the reclusive and eccentric chocolate maker, is opening his doors to the public--well, five members of the public to be exact. The lucky five who find a Golden Ticket in their Wonka chocolate bars will receive a private tour of the factory, given by Mr. Wonka himself. For young Charlie Bucket, this a dream come true. And, when he finds a dollar bill in the street, he can't help but buy two Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delights--even though his impoverished family could certainly use the extra dollar for food. But as Charlie unwraps the second chocolate bar, he sees the glimmer of gold just under the wrapper! The very next day, Charlie, along with his unworthy fellow winners Mike Teavee, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Augustus Gloop, steps through the factory gates to discover whether or not the rumors surrounding the Chocolate Factory and its mysterious owner are true. What they find is that the gossip can't compare to the extraordinary truth, and for Charlie, life will never be the same again. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, another unforgettable masterpiece from the legendary Roald Dahl, never fails to delight, thrill, and utterly captivate. (Ages 9 to 12)
Book Description
The classic tale of fantasy, this delightful masterpiece depicts all sorts of characters: greedy, selfish, obnoxious, compassionate, loveable, and generous. Recounting the adventures of four children bent on having their own way, the story's moralistic factor becomes uproariously apparent early on.
" Movie: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
✐ An interesting children story that I as a 17 year old enjoyed a lot! I knew the story as I've already seen the movie, but the book has a sort of different feeling :D
✐ Just like the book, I enjoyed the movie. Though I watched a long time before reading, I still like it ..

"Roald Dahl is a very interesting author. His humor is quite unique and most of his books, well there is nothing quite like them. There are actually two movies, the classic Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and the newer Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Personally I prefer the newer movie but that's just because Gene Wilder creeps me out. Both movies are fairly faithful accounts of the book, but as I said before there's something about Roald Dahl's humor that movies can't quite capture. Definitel"
