I really liked this book. It’s about these African American youths who have a hard time in the hood. The main characters brother is a gang banger and is against his little brothers best friend’s gang. So these youths live in a violent neighborhood.

This poor kid always on the way to school takes a look at the empty chocolate factory. At home he is too poor to afford a nice house. Four of his grandparents live with him and his parents. His grandparents are all in this one bed together. Then the chocolate factory decides to open it and allow ten kids and their parents in. many kids buy and buy these candies to win a golden ticket. When there is one left a guy in South America wins it. Later on the news said they found that it was fake. So Charlie is too poor to afford these candies. One day coming from school he finds something on the ground, it is a dollar! He runs to the store and buys two candy bars and he opens the first one. Then the second one, he finds The Golden Ticket!
