This book, written by Roald Dahl, tells the story of a very humble family, formed by Mr and Mrs Bucket, the parents of both, and the true protagonist of this story: Charlie. They all live in a precarious house with only 2 rooms and only one big bed which everyone had to share.
The stories that are told around the mysterious factory of their no less mysterious owner Willy Wonka, fascinate Charlie who, in a stroke of luck changes his destiny, when he find in his coveted chocolate a golden ticket to visit the enigmatic factory.
From this moment, he begins a journey of fantasy that he will share with his grandfather and four other children through the magical factory.
As for the development of the characters, they’re true to life. Despite the exaggeration in their defects are totally credible and gives the feeling that the years have not passed for this story.
The truly valuable aspect is the message it conveys in each of the events that occur throughout the visit. Educational values whose acititudes and behaviours have their respective consequences. The value of respect, generosity, reflection, and friendship, which make this work a true timeless classic, whose message is necessary, even more so in nowadays, and which remains intact throughout the years.
