I love the imagination that was used in this book and I would love to have my own world like that I love sweets. But also the way that it made me think that I could archive anything if I put my mind to it and never give up even when times are hard.

I liked this book because Charlie thought he wouldn’t get a chance to get a golden ticket but he did.I loved Veruca Salt because she was funny.I also liked how the squirrels said she was a bad nut then through her down the garbage chute.

I liked Charlie Bucket the best because he’s sensible. I didn’t like the other 4 children because they are rude. Yes, I would recommend it.

My favourite person is Charlie because he is the main character! Charlie has found a golden ticket and is now allowed to go to the factory!

My favourite bit was when Mike Teave goes on the tele and shrinks. My favourite character is Charlie because he won the race due to the fact he wasn't greedy.

A poor boy named Charlie finds a golden ticket, tours Willy Wonka's magical candy factory, and wins the whole empire through pure kindness.
