Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

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

School Library Journal - Audio

11/01/2013
Gr 3–6—Charlie's adventures continue in Dahl's tongue-in-cheek, rambunctious sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Listeners will climb aboard a glass elevator with Charlie, his family, and Mr. Wonka and travel into outer space where they visit a space hotel, escape the Vermicious Knids, and save the world. It is hard to stop laughing at Dahl's clever puns and hilarious situations delivered by award-winning actor Douglas Hodge whose talent is reminscent of Jim Dale's extraordinary narration of the "Harry Potter" series. While his rapid pace takes getting used to, his timing and incredible range of voices bring this favorite childhood classic to life.—Terri Norstrom, Cary Area Library, IL
