CHAPTER 6 :
THE FIRST TWO FINDERS
SUMMARY

3. Summary
◦The day after the Golden
Ticket contest is announced,
a nine-year-old boy named
Augustus Gloop finds a
ticket. Augustus is a
terrifically obese boy who
eats so many candy bars that
it would have been strange
for him not to come across
one with a Golden Ticket
inside.

4. Summary
◦Once the first Golden Ticket
has been found, the world
goes into a buying frenzy.
Children take hammers to
their piggy banks; gangsters
rob banks to get the cash for
more candy bars. A
professor even invents a
machine that can detect and
grab anything in the vicinity
that's made of gold.

5. Summary
◦On the day before Charlie's
birthday, the second Golden
Ticket is found. This time, the
finder is a rich girl named
Veruca Salt, whose doting
father buys thousands of
candy bars and has his
workers unwrap them until a
ticket turns up.

6. Summary
◦ Charlie's grandparents are loud in
their criticism of both children's
indulgent parents. Even Charlie
thinks Veruca Salt wasn't playing
fair. But the following day is his
birthday, when he'll get his annual
candy bar. Maybe there will be a
third Golden Ticket waiting inside!

to win the Golden Ticket? Why
or why not?
◦Veruca does not
deserve to win the
