Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

From the author of The BFG and Matilda!

Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But 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 good and ready for the wildest time of his life!

This is not my favourite of Roald Dahl's books (that would be the BFG and Matilda) but it is certainly a classic. Full of of ridiculous characters, absurd ideas and plenty of fun-filled nonsense, there is plenty to keep the reader amused and entertained. My daughter is dancing in a ballet adaptation so my son and I reread the book to remind ourselves of the details.
