For the first half of the book, the party ends up going to space, exploring the very first space hotel, and fighting aliens known as Vermicious Knids. It starts off literally right where Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ended, with Willy Wonka, Charlie, and his family flying from the Bucket household to the chocolate factory in Wonka's great glass elevator. Let me tell you, this was a weird piece of work. I thought that was kinda weird for such a famous author.
I also haven't seen it in bookstores, libraries, etc. Funny thing is, no one I've asked has ever heard of it. Written by Roald Dahl, illustrations from Joseph Schindelman, the whole shtick. Now, before anyone asks, yes, this is a legitimate Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sequel. I was a fan of Roald Dahl as a kid- and I still am today, to be honest- so that's the one I happily decided to take home. The school had been open for literally 100 years, so there was a wide selection, but my eyes fell upon a small, white, battered book from 1972 with the words "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" written on the side in colorful bubble letters. I'm hazy on the details, but I know my teacher ended up asking all of us to take one book from her bookshelf. When I was in elementary school, I remember my school did some sort of a book give-away at one point.
