Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

One of the books that made an impression on me, as a young reader, was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This book has a realistic, yet magical quality that sucked me in.

I read this book many, many times over the years. If you have a young reader, be sure to introduce them to this delightful classic!
