Summary: Ok...if you're a 6th grader
Review: I found this book a most stimulating read, a truly exostentuous experience for any young man or eligeable young person to spend their Sunday afternooon perusing.I will highly recomend this book, the characters were most tangeable and the diction frippent, I think perhaps it contains some useful message on morality to all the little cherubs.

Summary: Ok...if you're a 6th grader
Review: I purchased this script with the intent of directing it as a high school play. Our high school has done many productions of children's stories and almost always receives a positive response, so I was not worried about the content of the play being too infantile. But this play was adapted from the original book to be performed by a group of 6th graders. The age group it was intended for shows blatantly. After reading through it and reflecting on the play as a whole, I decided that it was pretty lame. Now, I'm not trying to impugn Mr. George's adaptation. On the contrary, I commend him for taking the initiative to put so much work into adapting a story like this for the stage. But I wouldn't dare try to put this play on the stage of a high school theatre, or anything at all, unless it is done with all children cast members or done for an all children audience.

Summary: My Thoughts of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
Review: I read Charlie & The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl for my grade 5 LA class. I really enjoyed this book. Charlie is main character in this story. He comes from an extremely poor family, his 4 grandparents live with his parents and Charlie. The story centers around a Chocolate Factory that is giving out 5 golden tickets, which provide the lucky winners with a lifetime supply of chocolate and a tour of the factory. The tour has no end of unexpected surprises. The funniest character was Veruca Salt because she was going to steal a squirrel. The squirrels tackled her and then knocked her on the head (to see if she was a good or bad nut). They decided she was a bad nut and then threw her down the garbage chute! This book is very hard to put down! There is also a movie available called Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Summary: Read along to take a trip through a chocolate factory!
Review: I read the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This was a great book to read. Though this was fictional, it was also realistic because you could picture the story going on in your head. I also found myself feeling like I was going through the experiences along with the story. Enough with the rating, let's get to the story so you can read it and rate it yourself! A young, poor child, Charlie, lived with a very poor family. Once a year, on his birthday, his grandparents along with his parents (to chip in with money) would give him one measly little Willie Wonka's chocolate candy bar. His clothes were in rags, he was all dirty and very sad that he was this way. One day he saw that there was a contest that had to do with Willie Wonka's chocolate factory. Mr. Wonka would put 5 golden tickets in his Willie Wonka chocolate bars. Charlie wanted to win the contest so bad, but he only got candy bars once a year, so he didn't have a good chance of winning one of the golden tickets. His grandfather decided that since the contest was so important to Charlie, he would get him a candy bar. The next day, his grandfather got him a chocolate candy bar. Everyone was so eager for him to open and win because you wouldn't just get a golden ticket, but a tour through the factory and a 1 year supply of candy bars! When Charlie opened the wrapper, so eager to win, there was no golden ticket. Charlie was so upset because he really thought that he had a chance. Until.... The next day, to his surprise, he found money in the sewer to buy a candy bar at the candy shop. He was kind of scared and eager to win because he wouldn't have anymore money to take a second chance. He opened the door to the candy shop and stepped in the shop, hoping that he would win a golden ticket, for there was only one more left. He selected a bar and carefully peeled open the wrapper. In amazement, he found the golden ticket! Yes, it was the last golden ticket and he had won it! Everyone crowded around Charlie in hope that maybe they could grab it from him. He was very excited, but also scared that maybe some adult or kid would grab the golden ticket for themselves. Finally the storekeeper said to go home and show his family what he had won in his candy bar. When Charlie went home and screamed that he had won the golden ticket everyone cheered. It was now ready to go to the front gate of the factory. I'm sure that you know how little Charlie must have felt winning the prize. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens along the tour with Mr. Wonka himself.

Summary: This book is very realistic.
Review: I think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is more than okay but was not the greatest.I liked Willy Wonka the best. He was very funny.That book was exiting to read.I liked the book because I love chocolate. This book is the best book we've read, so far,this year in 6th grade.Charlie ended up with the Chocolate Factory and he loved it a lot.
