Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
by Roald Dahl
The glass lift shoots out of the factory and into orbit, where Charlie, Mr Wonka and the whole family meet something living in a space hotel.
A story about children and families, funny and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 7–10, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
