Imagine a golden ticket of your own to visit the charming chocolatier Mr. Willy Wonka at his mysterious, meritorious chocolate factory. That dream could come true in “My Golden Ticket”, an inspired new book expanding Roald Dahl’s confectionary conjecture with a personalised, custom-printed children’s story.

Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory“, published in 1964, recounts the masticatory misadventures of young Charlie Bucket inside confectioner Willy Wonka’s enticing establishment. Seen on stage and screen multiple times, it’s one of the most beloved children’s stories ever.

“My Golden Ticket” gives children a pass inside the famous factory for a fresh view of the story. When ordering the book, you type in a child’s name and the name of the family member joining them on their gobstopper stopover. 

Each child gets their own Oompa Loompa song, while the Candy Apple Family Tree traces the little’un’s surname back through a lineage of dessert-themed descendants. In each room of Mr. Wonka’s bonbon business, readers collect a flavour, texture or colour that’s combined into their very own sweet treat at the end of the book — with 9 billion possible permutations.
