Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 11 Summary: “The Miracle”

Charlie enters the nearest store and buys a Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious candy bar. Starving, he eats it voraciously. He considers his change on the counter and decides to buy one more candy bar. Opening the second candy bar, Charlie sees a flash of gold, and realizes he has found the fifth Golden Ticket.

An excited crowd surrounds Charlie. One man offers him 50 dollars for the ticket. The shopkeeper pushes through the crowd and urges Charlie to run home before he loses the ticket. Charlie runs through the snow toward his home, waving at the ever-silent gates of Wonka’s Factory and yelling “I’ll be seeing you soon!” (46).

Chapter 12 Summary: “What It Said on the Golden Ticket”

Charlie bursts into his home and shows his skeptical family his ticket. 96-year-old Grandpa Joe, who hasn’t gotten out of bed for 20 years, leaps out of bed and dances with joy. The family reads the ticket, which invites the ticket-holder and one to two family members to the factory on the first of February, which is the next day; the ticket reiterates that the five winners will receive a lifetime supply of candy and chocolate via a procession of trucks. Grandpa Joe excitedly says he will accompany Charlie. Soon, press arrives to interview Charlie.
