by Roald Dahl
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a magical adventure where five children win golden tickets to tour the world's most extraordinary chocolate factory. Through imaginative scenes and clever humor, Roald Dahl celebrates kindness and integrity while entertaining readers with the eccentric Willy Wonka and the unforgettable personalities of the other ticket winners. This timeless classic sparks joy and imagination while teaching valuable lessons about character and choices.
Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, Our Hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life! "Rich in humor, acutely observant, Dahl lets his imagination rip in fairyland." —The New York Times
