Editorial Review:
Picking right up where Charlie and the Chocolate Factory left off, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator continues the adventures of Charlie Bucket, his family and Willy Wonka, the eccentric candy maker. As the book begins, our heroes are shooting into the sky in a glass elevator, headed for destinations unknown. What follows is exactly the kind of high-spirited magical madness and mayhem we've all come to expect from Willy Wonka and his creator Roald Dahl. The American space race gets a send-up, as does the President, and Charlie's family gets a second chance at childhood. Throw in the Vermicious Knids, Gnoolies and Minusland and we once again witness pure genius. (Ages 9 to 12)
Reader Reviews:
A good book but... (5/11 people found this helpful)
It's not as good as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Still a good book though.
This is a brilliant book (4/9 people found this helpful)
I thought the funny bit was when the grandparents went back to being babies and I like the Oompa loompas.
Very Funny and really brilliant (5/14 people found this helpful)
It is about a little boy called Charlie Bucket and he go's on an adventure with a man called Willy Wonker, they go places in a Great Glass Elevator
Good book, recommended age 5-9/10 (3/6 people found this helpful)
I think it is a good book, my personal favourite part(s) are when the Grandparents wake up in their bed and start to float about in the elevator and the funny part is when Grandpa Joe tries to get back into bed but never actually succeeds. And the other one is when they get captured by 'giant knids'! The happy part is when Willy Wonka hands the chocolate factory over to Charlie.
