Roald Dahl’s beloved chapter book, which inspired two major motion pictures, tells the story of a poor boy who lives with his parents and his four grandparents in a tiny, cramped home in the city. When Charlie finds a golden ticket that grants him entry into the mysterious and magical Wonka Chocolate Factory, his life is changed forever. Charlie and his Grandpa Joe join 4 other children and their parents on a tour of the factory led by none other than Wonka himself. One by one, the children meet disastrous fates induced by their own vices: gluttony, gum-chewing, tv-obsession, and greed. Charlie is the last one standing, and is rewarded with a ride in the glass elevator and ownership of the factory! His entire family is moved to the factory and no longer lives in poverty. A classic for the classroom, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory teaches not-so-subtle morality in a dark and fascinating way. This crazy, fantastic story is sure to please students who are at chapter-book level and above.
