The sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is much less-known, and will probably never become a movie. It will most likely never see the fame of the first, and yet I like them about the same.
In this novel, Wonka takes Charlie and Grandpa Joe home in the great glass elevator. They pack the rest of the family into the elevator and blast off, intending to head back to the factory. Of course, pandemonium ensues and they go too far up, up into the sky, up out of earth's atmosphere. And so their zany adventure begins.
I enjoyed this book. It's a nice easy read and great for kids!
After watching The Office the other night, where Michael came up with the "unique" idea of giving out golden tickets to customers, I was inspired to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryby Roald Dahl.
And it was super great. I'd tell you the storyline, but you already know it, I'm sure. I love Charlie. It's cute and I really like the moral. The good kid wins, you know? But really. Love. Can't wait to read it to my kids! Poor kids. I'm going to read to them alllll the time :) Also, the songs from the second movie are totally found in the book. Mostly because that movie was much closer to the storyline of the book than the first one.
