Overview: Starting where "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" left off - in the Great Glass Elevator - this story takes Charlie, Mr. Wonka, Charlie's parents and grandparents on a most extraordinary journey. Thanks to Mr. Wonka dn a couple of buttons that did and did not get pushed, the Great Glass Elevator and all its passengers find themselves orbiting in space. A super American space hotel, ferocious battles with the dread Vermicious Knids, a nervous President, and a most unusual Vice President - these are only some of the people, places and things you will encounter on this marvelous, cliffhanging adventure.

Review: If you or your child have read "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", you'll definitely want to read "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator". It takes the story further and answers the question, "What happened next?" the first Roald Dahl book left.
