Ordered it for my daughter, but read it before she could lay her hands on it. As always, Ronald Dahl grips you with excitement till the very end. Dear OldBookDepot, please arrange the second part of series Charlie and the Glass Elevator. I have asked your chat support numerous times.

I don’t there will be any other books which can compete with this book in terms of story and the bonding it creates with the reader and that too being grabbing the attention of young children. Not even Harry Potter series.

Not too sweet, not too tart, this book gently, humorously, and cleverly, but unmistakably messages children to be kind, not greedy, not selfish, not rude, and not addicted, whether to food, power, or entertainment, while telling an amusing fantastic tale in which comeuppance is delightfully doled out and virtue is rewarded.

It’s about a young boy’s journey to winning a tour through the chocolate factory in his town. There are plenty of times where we laughed out loud at the ridiculous imagination of Roald Dahl. We are going to order the next one in the series so we can see what else happens!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a story to be read again and again. It captures Dahl’s excellence in making a hero out of the least popular child around. This is a great tale to reinforce that wealth does not trump poverty and that good guys can finish first.
