Description[]

Based on the major motion picture—an intoxicating mix of magic and music, mayhem and emotion, all told with fabulous heart and humor— Wonka introduces readers to a young Willy Wonka, chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time... proving that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.

Follow Wonka's journey from a poor boy with a sweet tooth to a visionary chocolatier who creates the most amazing confections ever seen. Along the way, he meets some unforgettable characters, such as the Oompa-Loompas, the Vermicious Knids, and the mysterious Slugworth, who will either help or hinder his quest to make the world a happier place. And of course, there's the chocolate factory, a wonderland of delights and dangers, where Wonka's imagination runs wild and his dreams come true.
