Charlie and the chocolate factory

Paperback

In a chocolate factory, a gloved hand (Willy Wonka's) lays Golden Tickets on five chocolate bars, which are wrapped with other bars and sent out by trucks across the world. Near the factory, Charlie Bucket lives in a small shack with his parents and all four grandparents. Their only income comes from his father, who screws on caps at a toothpaste factory called Smilex. Grandpa Joe tells Charlie about the time he worked for Wonka at the factory and the palace made out of chocolate for Prince Pondicherry, who let it melt in the boiling sun after ignoring Wonka's advice to eat it. When the prince requested a new one, Wonka could not build it for him because of his own problems concerning spies who had infiltrated the factory. It was because of these spies that Wonka closed his factory and fired all his workers. Then, it inexplicably re-opened, though no new workers had been hired.

The next day, Charlie hears about a major contest to be held for a chance to see the chocolate factory firsthand. Willy Wonka has announced that five Golden Tickets have been placed in five Wonka Bars worldwide, and that the finder of each of these tickets will be given a full tour of the factory, along with one parent, and a lifetime's supply of chocolate. In addition to this, one of the five ticket-holders will be given a special prize at the end of the tour. Unfortunately, the increased sale of chocolate causes a rise in cavities, which in turn boosts the sale of toothpaste; with the increased profits, the toothpaste factory decides to modernize, and buys a new machine that eliminates Mr. Bucket's job. Charlie's birthday soon arrives, and he opens his yearly chocolate bar, which does not have a Golden Ticket. Grandpa Joe gives Charlie some money to buy another bar, but it also does not contain a ticket. Charlie finds a ten-dollar note in the snow and decides to buy a chocolate bar, which contains the fifth golden ticket. Charlie considers selling the ticket to make money for his family, but Grandpa George convinces him to keep the ticket and go to the factory by telling him that more money is printed every day, and there will only ever be five golden tickets. Therefore, according to him, "only a dummy would sell the ticket for something as common as money."

The next morning, Charlie and his Grandpa Joe arrive for the tour, and are greeted by an automated puppet show that breaks down, and Mr. Wonka is not on the throne that comes out. It turns out he has somehow slipped into the group to watch the show as well. During a tour of the factory, the first four ticket-winning children are one by one tempted by something, relating to their own character flaws, causing a strange accident that eliminates the child and their worried accompanying parent from the tour. The Oompa-Loompas sing a song of morality after each demise. Augustus Gloop drinks from the chocolate river in the Chocolate Room and is sucked away by a pipe that leads to the Fudge Room. Competitive gum chewer Violet Beauregarde chews an experimental piece of Three-Course Dinner Chewing Gum, but the effects of the blueberry pie within it turn her into a giant blueberry. Spoiled Veruca Salt tries to steal a squirrel in the Nut Sorting Room, where she is deemed a "bad nut" by the squirrels and thrown down the garbage chute along with her father. Mike Teavee, who is obsessed with violent television and video games, teleports himself over Mr. Wonka's TV waves, shrinking him down to miniature size, and is taken to the taffy pulling room to be stretched back to normal. They were all punished as the audience will see when they come out of the factory in the end.

After Mike Teavee's departure, Willy Wonka invites Charlie to come live in the factory and work with him. The only catch is that Charlie must abandon his family in order to accept the arrangement, because, in Mr. Wonka's opinion, family members only tell one what to do, and a chocolatier needs complete creative freedom. It transpires through flashbacks and narrations throughout the film that Wonka's dentist father, Dr. Wilbur Wonka, denied him chocolate and candies because of the potential risk to his teeth, as he took his job too seriously. After finally sneaking in a piece of chocolate while cleaning out the fireplace (which his father uses to burn all his Halloween chocolate), he became obsessed with it, dreaming of becoming a chocolatier. Despite his father's wishes and threats, Wonka ran away from home to follow his dreams. As his family is the most important thing in his life, Charlie refuses the offer. Charlie's family is living contently a while later, as his father gets a new job maintaining the machine that performs his old job and probably gets a better pay for it. Later, Wonka encounters Charlie (who is now a shoe-shine boy) after Charlie knowingly insults him to his face (hidden behind a newspaper), and asks him to join him in confronting his own father. The Wonkas reconcile, and Willy finally realizes the value of family, while his father learns to accept his son for who he is and not what he does. Charlie's house and family are relocated to the factory's Chocolate Room. In the end, Charlie has the chocolate factory and Wonka has a family and they have dinner together.
