Five children--and only five--were going to be allowed into Mr. Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The lucky five would get to see all the mysterious machinery in the factory where the world's most wonderful candy was made. And those five children were:
Augustus Gloop--a fat pig of a boy who would eat anything he could get his hands and teeth on,
Veruca Salt--a spoiled little rich girl who screamed until she was bought her heart's latest delight,
Violet Beauregarde--the world's champion gum chewer who was destined for a sticky end,
Mike Teavee--a smart aleck who was addicted to television,
AND
Charlie Bucket--Our Hero, who was honest, obedient, loyal, trustworthy, brave, good, kind, and starving.
What happens when these five children meet the famous Mr. Willy Wonka? What happens when they pass through the big factory doors? What happens when they come upon the unknown factory workers who throw very tiny shadows on the windows and talk in rhyme? What happens when, one by one, the children disobey Mr. Wonka's orders? That, dear reader, is the substance of this uproarious morality tale by the world-renowned storyteller, Roald Dahl.

Work Description
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1964 children's novel by British author Roald Dahl. The story features the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was first published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1964 and in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin 11 months later.
In the 2012 survey published by SLJ, a monthly with primarily US audience, Charlie was the second of four books by Dahl among their Top 100 Chapter Books, one more than any other writer. Time magazine in the US included the novel in its list of the 100 Best Young-Adult Books of All Time.
