Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

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 Hardcover edition.

--Independent Press Telegraph

"A delightfuly marvelous story bound to enchant all Willy Wonka fans." --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, Nov 15 2008
By SH (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator (Paperback)
Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl is a fun book to read that children will especially enjoy. It is the sequel to Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, so it was nice to read, since the ending of the first novel did not seem like a proper ending.

I like how Charlie is so well behaved, even compared to some of his grandparents that make rude remarks to Mr. Willy Wonka. There are new inventions, new species, and new places that Charlie visits in this exciting adventure.

In this novel, Mr. Wonka, Charlie, his parents, and his grandparents go up to outer space in the glass elevator. There, they visit a space hotel, but people from earth think they are there to bomb the space hotel. Find out what will happen and what great things Charlie will see.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book ever, April 8 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator (Paperback)
Have you ever imagined an elevator that could fly? Charlie, in the book Charlie and the Great Glass elevator, went flying through space and time. Charlie and his family discovered the U.S.A. space hotel where they met three pilots being attacked by knids. A problem arises when the pilots can't get down to earth without burning up into ashes. There are to conflicts in this book: getting away from the knids and save grandma from minus land. The authors message in this book is "if you work hard at something you can get there". I would give this book a 5 star rating for its excitement and suspense. You should read this suspenseful book to find out what happens to Charlie and his family.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read for Anyone, April 2 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator (Paperback)
This book is funny, interesting, and a great book for all ages. I loved this book because it's fresh and funny, and Roald Dahl is a terrific writer. This was the first book I read by Roald Dahl, and you really don't need to ready any other Chocolate Factory books before enjoying this one.

The story goes like this: Charlie Bucket & his family, plus Willy Wonka are riding in a great glass elevator (just as the title implies,) and they somehow crash into outer space and land in this space hotel. While in the the hotel they come across these gruesome creatures. They cleverly escape from them and head back to the Chocolate Factory. While there Charlie's maternal and paternal grandparents take a pill created by Willy Wonka to make them younger (or older). The results are hilarious, but you have to read this book yourself to find out what happens!
P.S.: I loved the poems in the book!
