Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a classic children’s novel following a good-natured ten-year-old boy named Charlie. Growing up in a poor but loving family, he lives down the street from a chocolate factory run by a mysterious man named Willy Wonka. When Wonka hosts a contest where five children will be allowed a tour of his factory, Charlie watches four other spoiled children find the golden tickets Wonka hid inside his chocolate bars. He thinks he won’t win—until, by some miracle, he finds the last golden ticket. And discovers the chocolate factory, as well as Willy Wonka, are not exactly what he expected.
