Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator


Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator continues the adventures of Charlie Bucket, his family, and Willy Wonky, the best chocolate maker. As the book begins, the heroes are shooting into the sky in a glass elevator headed for an unknown target. What follows is exactly the kind of high-spirited magical madness often found in the book. Mr. Willy Wonky might be a genius with chocolate, but Charlie and his family don't trust his flying skills one bit. And right now, he has at the helm of a giant glass elevator that's picking up speed and hurtling through space -- with Charlie and the entire Bucket family stuck inside. I think this book is interconnected with Charlie and the chocolate factory because in that also there was a character called Charlie and they talk about chocolates in this storyas well.
I think I like the book because it can be read by children. This book is funny also in some ways. Mr. Wonky struggles because he is very good in making chocolates, but his family won’t trust him and because of it he got in trouble.
