Charlie and his family were very poor. They lived in a tiny cottage and there were seven of them. Charlie, his parents, Mr and Mrs Bucket, plus Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine, and Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina. It was a tight fit but they didn’t mind. Every day Charlie went off to school with hunger gnawing in his tummy.

When Willy Wonka decided to give away 5 Golden Tickets all hidden in his chocolates and five children were the winners, they all descended on the factory with their parents – Charlie had Grandpa Joe with him. And what an adventure they had. What would happen in that magical factory? You’ll have to read the book to find out

One of the first books I ever read. I wanted to watch the movie, but wasn't allowed to until I read the book. And so I did. And now, every few years, I want to again. It's been a long time. But who doesn't love chocolate and dreams and wishes and gifts? I think I may read this series... only looked at the first one.

FYI - Wrote this review ~2017 from memory as I want to have a review for everything I remember reading. If I messed it up, let me know! LOL :)
