Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie LOVES chocolate, but his family are so poor that all they can afford to eat is cabbage soup… until he wins a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, a place of unimaginable inventions and undreamed-of flavours. The chocolate factory is a marvellous place, but it also has sinister secrets. Why does no-one ever come out? Who are the Oompa-Loompas, the tiny, singing workers who make the sweets and chocolates? And what spectacular surprise has Mr Wonka got in store for Charlie? Roald Dahl’s best-loved book is a dream ticket into a world where fantasies come to life. From rivers of chocolate to the exotic Oompa-Loompas, Charlie’s journey is a treat you won’t be able to resist!
