This near-fairy tale is made of stuff that children dream of – a world made of sugar, a chocolate river, plenty of magic sweets. It’s no wonder Hollywood immortalized it.
Charlie Bucket comes from a poor family. They're so poor that his parents can afford to buy him only one chocolate bar a year and that's on his birthday. By a quirk of fate, Charlie gets to visit the neighborhood chocolate factory and the rest of the tale is a dream come true for him and ends with a big surprise for all of his family.

This is also a story of hope, triumph and happiness. Just the perfect book for a child. :-)
Excerpt
It was time to sail down the chocolate river. Charlie looked around. Everything in this amazing world was made of sugar. The pink boat was sugar!
