Title: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Genre: Fiction Author: Roald Dahl

Charlie and the chocolate factory is one of the most-read children's books written by Roald Dahl. It is a fascinating book because the story is all about a kid named Charlie who goes to a chocolate factory made by Willy Wonka. Willy Wonka decides to give children a chance to visit his humungous chocolate factory by wrapping six golden tickets inside tasty chocolate bars. Finally, Charlie and five other children, each with a companion, go inside the gigantic chocolate factory to explore it. We also learn several moral values in the story. For example, we should be humble and kind, and we should not get overconfident while doing something. Willy Wonka is my favourite character in this novel because he is the owner of the chocolate factory, and I would also love to own such a big chocolate factory.
