When I was visiting my nephew's house yesterday. Inadvertently, I saw a novel titled Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It is my old sister’s novel, she has two novels of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: English version and translated version in Indonesia Language. She is one of the novel by Roald Dahl lovers. In addition, Quentine Blake is his favorite illustrator, that's why she's very interested in the novels of Roald Dahl. She said Roald Dahl always has an imaginative story; Quentine Blake always makes an interesting cover for them. The novel ever made a movie in 2005. The film was starred by Freddie Highmore as Charlie 

Bucket and Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. It is very interesting and exciting. But, I felt more interested when I was reading the novel.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a novel for children. The main characters are Charlie Bucket and Mr. Willy Wonka. The setting time and place is inside a chocolate factory a long time ago.

Mr. Willy Wonka was a mysterious businessman. He wasn’t very sociable, and he didn’t have anyfriends. Because, he was alone all the time. People thought he was an eccentric, a strange man. Mr. Wonka had a chocolate factory. The factory looked frightening like a haunted house. People believed there were ghosts inside. It was a big mistery.

One day, he made an announcement. People who found golden tickets inside the wrapper of Wonka chocolate bars would get a special prize: a unique tour of the factory by Mr. Wonka himself. There were only five tickets across the country. And, only one of them would get the factory when Mr. Wonka died. For Charlie Bucket, this was a dream come true. He liked chocolate very much but he could only have it on his birthday. It was too expensive. His family wasn’t wealthy, they didn’t have much money. One day, he found a dollar bill in the street. He immediately bought two delicious Wonka chocolate bars. He ate one quickly. Then he unwrapped the second chocolate bar. He was excited, very happy, to find a golden ticket.

The next day, Charlie, along with the other winner (Mike, Verucca, Violet, and Augustus) entered the factory gates. They wanted to find out, about Mr. Wonka and his mysterious factory, it seemed to have many secrets. After the tour, they would never forget everything they saw. Life would never be the same again for them, especially Charlie.
