(  )06nwingert | May 31, 2009 |   I love this sequel even more than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it was so well written and it really does show that adults, even though they may be old, can still be so fun. Not to mention the humor in it, I loved Willy Wonka's silliness through out the book. I loved the creative background to the Wonka-Vile, and the strange creatures in the Minusland and in space. Although I must admit, I was a little sadden at the fact there never was a sequel to this book. Amazing book in the book, I believe everyone should read it at least once in their lives. ( )NikkiHearts | Apr 27, 2009 | 1  I like how this book was written (  )kings8 | Mar 24, 2009 | 1 read this one separately and well after I Read the original. I read this in 5th grade during my aloof stage. i didn't like my 5th grade class. I kept very much to myself and my thoughts that year. it was the year i became hysterical and started analyzing everything around me. this book was right up my alley, about a boy and his role model flying high in the sky alone with nothing to do but fiddle with gadgets and discuss the deep blue earth below them. (  )TakeItOrLeaveIt | Feb 22, 2009 | 1 I loved the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate factory almost as much as the original, with its wonderful space hotel and vermicious knids and floating double beds!

Amazon.com (ISBN 014032870X, Paperback)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)(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:08 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
