Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the iconic fantasy story about a poor but virtuous boy, Charlie Bucket, who wins one of five Golden Tickets to tour the mysterious chocolate factory owned by the eccentric genius, Willy Wonka. Charlie and his Grandpa Joe join four other children—the spoiled, gluttonous, and obnoxious winners—on a fantastical journey through the factory’s secret rooms filled with edible landscapes and incredible inventions. As the tour progresses, each of the four naughty children succumb to their vices and meet a bizarre, humorous, and fittingly terrible fate. Charlie, the last child remaining, proves his kindness and humility, earning the ultimate, life-changing reward from Mr. Wonka.
