Wonka - Roald Dahl

Before Charlie, before the Chocolate Factory, there was just a young man with a suitcase, a dream, and an unshakeable belief that the world needed his chocolate. Wonka tells the origin story of literature's most famous chocolatier: how Willy Wonka arrives at the world-famous Galeries Gourmet determined to share his creations with everyone, only to be hounded by a trio of jealous, established chocolatiers who trick him into years of washhouse drudgery instead. Escaping that fate takes a little luck, a lot of magic, and help from a ragtag group of new friends - exactly the kind of found-family plot that makes Roald Dahl's world so enduring. This novelisation, written by bestselling children's author Sib?l Pounder based on the screenplay by Simon Farnaby and Paul King (who also directed the film starring Timoth? Chalamet), brings the movie to the page with brand-new illustrations by Emily Jones. A strong pick for young Roald Dahl fans, readers who loved the film and want more of the story, and parents looking for a fun, imaginative prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
