CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY by Roald Dahl
PAPERBACK
Author: Roald Dahl
Illustrator: Quentin Blake
Magical, mischievous, and endlessly re-readable, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is one of the most beloved children’s novels of all time - a dazzling blend of imagination, humour, and moral storytelling.
Charlie Bucket’s life is modest and often difficult, but everything changes in one miraculous moment when he finds a Golden Ticket hidden inside a bar of chocolate. The prize? A once-in-a-lifetime visit to the mysterious factory of the world’s greatest chocolate maker, Willy Wonka. Charlie isn’t going alone. Also holding Golden Tickets are:
Augustus Gloop - a chocolate-glutton extraordinaire
Veruca Salt - spoiled, demanding, and never satisfied
Violet Beauregarde - obsessed with chewing gum
Mike Teavee - glued to screens and proud of it
Inside the factory, rivers of chocolate flow, extraordinary sweets defy belief, and the enigmatic Oompa Loompas observe everything. As the tour unfolds, each child’s behaviour leads to unforgettable (and often hilarious) consequences - while Charlie’s kindness, patience, and honesty quietly shine.
Written by Roald Dahl and brought vividly to life through the iconic illustrations of Quentin Blake, this classic story delights readers while gently exploring themes of greed, gratitude, fairness, and integrity. A wildly imaginative setting that sparks curiosity and wonder, with unforgettable characters and laugh-out-loud moments, that deliver clear moral lessons without ever feeling preachy.
A triumphant celebration of kindness and humility, perfect for independent reading and shared storytelling, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory proves that good things can happen - sometimes when you least expect them - and that being kind matters just as much as being clever.
