The gates of Mr. Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory are opening at last--and only five children will be allowed inside. And the winners are:

Augustus Gloop--A fat pig who would eat anything that came within reach or bite

Veruca Salt--A spoiled brat with parents trained to jump at her every scream

Violet Beauregarde--a-gum-chewing gabber with the fastest jaws and the slowest wits around

Mike Teavee--a fiend for television

and

Charlie Bucket--Our Hero, who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!

Work Description

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1964 children's novel by British author Roald Dahl. The story features the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was first published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1964 and in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin 11 months later.

In the 2012 survey published by SLJ, a monthly with primarily US audience, Charlie was the second of four books by Dahl among their Top 100 Chapter Books, one more than any other writer. Time magazine in the US included the novel in its list of the 100 Best Young-Adult Books of All Time.
