About this listen

Now that he's won the chocolate factory, what's next for Charlie?

Last seen flying through the sky in a giant elevator in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie Bucket's back for another adventure. When the giant elevator picks up speed, Charlie, Willy Wonka, and the gang are sent hurtling through space and time. Visiting the world’' first space hotel, battling the dreaded Vermicious Knids, and saving the world are only a few stops along this remarkable, intergalactic joyride.

Critic reviews

"Dahl's phenomenal popularity among children speaks for his breathless storytelling charms." (Publishers Weekly)

“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian...[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” (The New York Times)

AWESOME narration!

The story is phenomenal and the way it is read (the voices, the accents etc.) kept my 5th grade students captivated and glued to the edge of their seats. This is by far THE BEST narration I've heard to date!

Great, but the first was better

I loved this book, but it doesn't come close to the first one. The plot is a bit wild. Still, Charlie is one of my favorite characters and I love his adventures! 🍫🍫🍫

Best Book Ever

I love this book I read it more than "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". This book is great for kids with big imaginations. Once I start reading it I don't want to stop. So if you haven't read it, start reading NOW!📖
