Product Description

Amazon.co.uk 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) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description

This continues the adventures of Charlie Bucket and his family that started in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". This time the family travel in the Great Glass Elevator and have amazing adventures in outer space.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Dahl's masterpieces, 12 Feb 2008
By Mehajabeen Farid "mej_farid" (Coventry) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator (Puffin Fiction) (Paperback)
Plot: Willy Wonka is an extraordinary chocolate making genius. He may be good at making candy but his flying skills are terrible; Charlie's family and he do not trust Mr. Wonka one bit when it comes to that particular subject. But when the travellers are lost up in space he only thing they need is a miracle...

Something special about the author: In the story all the travellers were invited to the White House and Roald Dahl was also invited to the President's house when Eleanor Roosevelt absolutely loved Dahl's book The Gremlins!

Rating and Recommendation: I would rate this book 7/ 10 because it was witty but a bit (only a tiny, weeny bit) boring and the plot was not as good as all the others. I would recommend it to Roald Dahl's fan, especially 7 - 11 year olds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, recommended age 5-9/10, 16 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator (Puffin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
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.

It's not as good as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Still a good book though.
