Charlie Bucket lives with his mum and dad and four grandparents. They are pretty poor. What Charlie likes most is chocolate, but he only gets one bar a year - on his birthday.

Against the odds little Charlie Bucket gets to go. Inside the factory he sees that the other children are nasty little beasts - Augustus Gloop - a great big greedy nincompoop; Veruca Salt - a spoiled brat; Violet Beauregarde - a repulsive little gum-chewer; Mike Teavee - a boy who only watches television - and Mr Wonka sees it too.
