Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is about a really (you’ll see how really poor they are soon) poor family. Now what family am I talking about? The Bucket’s. Charlie Bucket lives in a small cottage with his grandparents, Grandpa Joe, Grandma Josephine, Grandpa George, and Grandma Georgina. He has a mother named Mrs. Bucket, and a father named Mr. Bucket. Charlie gets 1 chocolate bar a year. One night, Grandpa Joe tells Charlie a story about Mr. Wonka and his chocolate factory. Then, a miracle happens. Read the book to find out what the miracle is! My favorite part of the book was when Grandpa Joe told Charlie the stories because it’s like he is telling you that story, which is cool.
I would recommend the book to ages 4-? I did the question mark because some people like the book until they’re 50, and some like the book until they’re 20. One reason I like the book is because it is heavily illustrated by a good illustrator, Quentin Blake.
I would rate the book 57 stars because it was real good.
what does 4- mean?
I agree with you it is really a good book.
Marlo,
This book was always one of my favorite books. What other Roald Dahl books besides The BFG have you read?
Three things though —
1. Please rate your books 1 to 5 if you can.
2. When you recommend a book to someone, I’d suggest thinking about it in terms of the kind of person the book might appeal to – not just about the age it would appeal to. Does that make sense?
3. Are you sure this book would qualify as realistic fiction?
What about title!?
This book is always great! Even though I read it almost a thousand times!
