Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
by Roald Dahl
Illustrated by Joseph Schindelman
Knopf, 1972, Book Club Edition
Charlie is back!
Taking up where CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY left off—in the great glass elevator–this story takes Charlie, Mr. Wonka, and Charlie's parents and grandparents on a most extraordinary series of adventures.
Thanks to Mr. Wonka and a couple of buttons that did and did not get pushed, the great glass elevator and all of its passengers find themselves orbiting in space. A super American space hotel, ferocious battles with the dread Vermicious Knids, weird and wonderous pills, Minusland, Gnoolies, a nervous President, and a most unusual Vice President—these are only some of the people, places and things you will encounter in this marvelous, cliff hanging adventure.
