From the author of The BFG and Matilda!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opens the doors to Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory at last! However, 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 ready for the wildest time of his life!
