Taking up where Charlie and the Chocolate Factory leaves off, Charlie, his family, and Mr. Wonka find themselves launched into space in the great glass elevator.
Well, this was an unnecessary sequel. I really enjoyed the first book, though that might be a little bit because of nostalgia – this book fell completely flat for me. I didn’t like the characters (honestly why are they all written so CHILDISH?!) and I wasn’t a fan of the way the story went. I think if they hadn’t added the whole space part, this book would have been a bit better.
