roald dahl had an excellent idea with charlie and the chocolate factory because charlie found the golden ticket only after 3 times!! PLus he is the only poor child

This is one of my favorite Roald Dahl books

This book is way better than the movies. It's great for when you have nothing to do in the cold fall and all winter

usually the book is better than the movie

In this book a boy named charlie lives with his parents and grandperents but the live on the top of a hill but they only eat cabbage and then charlies grandparents tell him about willy wonkas choclate factory he really wants to buy allot of choclates but charlie only gets once every birthday of his but then he gets to go inside the choclate factory then at the end he has thousands of choclate and gets to keep the choclate factory when he grows up then they live happaly ever after

This book is about a poor boy named Charlie who lives with his parents and his grandparents from both his mother's and his father's side of the family. Charlie and his family live in New York City and in New York City, there is a chocolate factory which produces the best chocolate bars in the world. While most kids can afford to buy 30 bars a day, Charlie only gets one bar on one day of the year- his birthday. But no one (Except for willy wonka who is the owner of the factory) has ever been inside it. But when willy wonka sends out these golden tickets- only 5 of them- in different bars sent all around the world. (SPOILER ALERT) One day, Charlie's grandpa gives him some money to buy one bar of chocolate. (not on his birthday) And he goes and gets one. He goes back home, opens it and.... There's no golden ticket. But then he goes out again and finds a ten dollar bill on the ground. He picks it up, goes to the nearest store, and buys a chocolate bar. (no golden ticket) then he opens the next one and... finds a GOLDEN ticket. but this ticket isn't just a ticket to the factory, but a ticket to his life's destiny.

IN CLASS I READ THIS BOOK. IT IS A REALLY FUN BOOK ABOUT A KID WHO IS POOR AND GETS A GOLDEN TICKET. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. THE AVREGE AGES WOULD BE 7-20 YEAR OLDS. I HOPE YOU HAVE A FUN TIME ON THIS ADVENTURE WITH CHARLIE, WILLY WONKA, AND THE OTHER KIDS!

This is one of my most favorite books. I have read it so many times!!!
