Title: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Author: roald dahl, what's the book about.

The book is about a boy called Charlie. His family is very poor – they don't have much money and they don't have much food.

There is a chocolate factory near Charlie's house. It is Willy Wonka's factory. Willy Wonka invites five children to visit the chocolate factory. The factory is amazing! One child wins a very special prize. Is Charlie the winner?

My favourite character

My favourite character is Charlie because he is very kind. I don't like the other children because they are horrible!

My opinion of the book

This book is great! I love the incredible chocolates and sweets in the factory.

In my opinion Pokémon is the best book and movie in the world and I love it and It’s awesome. Pokémon was created by Satoshi Tajiri .My favorite character is Ash from Palet town . He is training to be the best of Pokémon going from the Kanto Region to the Galel Region . The Pokémon world is the most fascinating place in the world. You Catch Pokémon with your starter Pokemon once you have seven Pokémon you can battle a Jim leader. If you beat the Jim leader you get a badge and you keep on doing that until you have 108 badges then you can battle against the master of Pokémon if you win you are the master but if you lose you are just a normal trainer. I love reading Pokémon maybe you should read it bye!!!
