Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator

the Further Adventures of Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka, Chocolate-maker Extraordinary

I hadn't heard of this sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory until I placed holds on books by Roald Dahl at SPL. This story is fascinating! It literally picks up right where the previous book left off. And Roald Dahl proceeds to take the readers along on the adventures of Willy Wonka, Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and the rest of Charlie's family and they travel about in the Great Glass Elevator. The only reason I gave this story just 4.5 stars instead of a full 5 is because I do not feel Joseph Schindelman's illustrations are worthy of the wonderful story they are associated with. And so I have placed a new hold for this book from SPL, this time for an edition with illustrations by Quentin Blake.
