Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Author: Roald Dahl

Summary: 5 children win a golden ticket from a chocolate bar to visit the enchanting chocolate factory of eccentric candy maker Willy Wonka. 4 of the kids are terribly spoiled and rude while one is poverty-stricken and malnourished, but with very good manners. 

Personal thoughts about the book: The moral of the story is that if you have good manners and don't act selfish, good things are bound to come your way sooner or later. Take the little boy Charlie for instance. He and his family were poverty-stricken and terribly malnourished, but he was always willing to share and didn't misbehave in the factory like the other children did. While the other children left the factory with nothing special, Charlie got something special, which if I told you what exactly, would spoil everything. 

Character I liked best: Charlie. Although he loved chocolate very much, he only got to taste it once a year, and he tried so hard not to let it bother him whenever he saw other kids eating it rudely in front of him. 

Rating on a scale of 1 to 10: 10
