Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the 1st book in the Charlie Bucket Series.

Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this Gold Ticket from Mr Willy Wonka! Tremendous things are in store for you!

Charlie Bucket's life is about to change forever, thanks to one miraculous moment!

Willy Wonka, extraordinary chocolate maker, has hidden five golden tickets in five ordinary bars of chocolate, and any child who finds one will get the chance to visit his incredible factory.

And Charlie has found one... But so have...

Augustus Gloop - a glutton for chocolate

Veruca Salt - a spoiled and selfish brat

Violet Beauregarde - a repulsive gum-chewer

Mike Teavee - a television fiend

With a chocolate river, delectable confectionery and mysterious Oompa Loompas, Mr Wonka's factory is the most wondrous place Charlie has ever seen.
