Title:The Complete Adventures of Charlie and Mr Willy Wonka (2 books in One)
Author: Roald Dahl
Genre:Children Fantasy
Number of pages:375




The main character of the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is Charlie.
He was a poor boy who lived in a small hut with his four grandparents and his parents. The Bucket family could only afford a small chocolate bar a year, which was their only luxury. 
 Near Charlie's tiny home there was a big Chocolate Factory owned by the best chocolate maker in the world, Willy Wonka. Mr.Willy Wonka had disappeared for about ten years and that was a big mystery. No one ever knew what happened to him but all they knew was that he quit his job because people  were stealing his recipes. 
One day, there was a news in newspaper that Mr. Willy Wonka was back. It was said that there will be a search all over the world for five golden tickets. Anyone who found a ticket would be able to visit his factory and after that would be able to eat his chocolate whenever they wanted for eternity. Charlie, being so poor had no expectations. 
Charlie's grandfather, Joe was full of hope, so they decided to try, and indeed they succeeded. factory was huge,with incredible machines, and Charlie's breath was taken away. Children, not listening to the instructions of Mr. Wonka, and being greedy encountered nasty surprises until they disappeared.

Since Mr Wonka was old Charlie was to take over the factory.
 There is still something to be mentioned, and that is the episode with the glass elevator. Charlie and his family were taken in it into the space. It was again Mr Willy Wonka's responsibility to bring them safely back to Earth. But, this will be the subject of the next Roald Dahl's book.


This book was very entertaining for a 6 hours ride by bus and I'm pretty sure it would be entertaining to anyone and anywhere. Roald Dahl is witty and fun and I like his books very much.
