Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 

If you haven't read this book yet...JUST READ IT! Roald Dahl, the author is just brilliant! His got such a wild imagination! He makes up these crazy stories that just keeps you reading on and on and you just might wonder if all this had actually happened to him or how can he think of such amazing things! This is the first time I've ever read a book with a non-stop supply of short and unpredictable little stories connected that keep you curious and interested.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, along with Ronald Dahl's other tales for younger readers, make him a true star of children's literature. The book is a prize winning, exciting and hilarious stock of candies. The suggested age range for this book is 9-12, but nobody can resist it.

The book is about a boy from a poor family that lives in a one-story hut. The main characters are Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and Charlie's family.

An old but famous factory will be opened for five lucky people. Weeks have gone by until starving little Charlie sees a gold flash in the last candy bar he can afford. Charlie takes only a minute until he finds he maintained the 5th and last golden ticket. Charlie rushes home to tell his poor family the great news, and how lucky they were, for it was the last possible day to receive this gold ticket. The main adventure begins when Charlie and his grandfather visit the factory with a group of other children. What adventures would Charlie meet and will Charlie be the one to win the factory? You can find out if you read this book. I would recommend this book if you like sweet adventures. This book is a great fantasy because funny and bizarre things happen to those who deserve it.

Let me tell you some of my favorite parts. I loved the part with the thousands-and-thousands-of-botton-covered-glass-elevator-that-moves-in-all-directions. They're all labeled! Isn't that cute! You just press any one of them and it'll get you to that place in no time at all. I also liked reading about all the different types of candies that were made in Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Many of those candy's have actually come up in every kids' mind before, like forever-lasting-taste, chewing gums, candies that can take over breakfast, lunch and dinner, or even a castle that's made all out of chocolate! And there's MUCH MORE!
