Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - All Media Types 

Charlie Bucket, Willy Wonka

Do not want: romance, anything over a T rating.

While the sequel to this book is quite funny and worth a read, it never felt satisfying to me as a sequel because we didn't see much of Charlie learning how to run a chocolate factory as enormous and imaginative as Wonka's factory.  I'm mostly interested in world-building around the factory, Wonka's approach to creativity and candy-making, or how anybody can keep up with him.  I am most familiar with the books, so please stick with them.  Some starting ideas if you want:

-exploring specific areas of the factory mentioned in passing (rock candy mine, fudge mountain, lake of hot caramel)

-Wonka drags Charlie all over the factory and/or world to experience new tastes he should know.

-the secrets behind the magic of Wonka's candy-making (maybe literal magic?)

The Lost Zoo - Countee Cullen 

Any Character

Do not want: a focus on romance, anything over a T rating

This is a cute little book about Noah's Ark, imaginary animals, and a cat being an author, so I love it even though I only picked it up as an adult.  It even encourages fanfiction in the last chapter because of the lizard and the Pussybow.  Here's some ideas if you like:

-I like how Noah is so impressed at Sammie Skunk's letter that he invites him to stay in his cabin.  How does that work out?

-Apparently, there's a press on the ark to print up newsletters during the voyage.  What do those newsletters look like?

-Poor little Squilililigee didn't deserve its fate, so I'd love to see an alternate happy ending for it.

-And as the last chapter asks, what is a One-Sided Lopsided Lizard, and why didn't it get on the ark?

Serendipity Series - Stephen Cosgrove 

Any Character

Do not want: romance, anything over a T rating.

I nominated Morgan the Unicorn and the princess as one of my treasured books from my childhood is Misty Morgan.  While it is a moral story and everything is set up to portray that in a simple fashion, this book could have stood on its own as a longer children's fantasy in my opinion.  There is so much that is mysterious and intriguing about it; the second page of text alone talks of the princess being a slave to time in a castle full of clocks.  Why is this?  Is there anybody else in this castle?  Any world building around Misty Morgan would be great.

Though friendship fluff between Morgan and the princess would be sweet as well, as they're both adorable.  If you decide to base something off one of the other Morgan books, please let me know so I can find a copy to read!
