Mr Wonka's inventions are one of this world. He's thought up every kind of sweet imaginable in his amazing chocolate factory, but no one has ever seen inside, or met Mr Wonka! Charlie Bucket can't believe his luck when he finds a golden ticket and wins the trip of a lifetime around the famous chocolate factory. He still could never have dreamed what surprises lie in store!

I remember being completely blown away by this book when I was a kid. I'm looking forward to seeing if the magic remains when I read this for the BBC Big Read.
