Muse Squad Brings Whimsy and Fantasy to New Milford in New Creative Writing Course
The New Milford Chapter of Muse Squad is proud to announce a sweet surprise for young, aspiring writers based on a classic Roald Dahl novel!

The New Milford Chapter of Muse Squad is proud to announce a sweet surprise for young, aspiring writers: We will be offering a new course titled “The Factory” inspired by Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory begins with Mr. Willy Wonka, the owner of the greatest factory in the world. He hides five Golden Tickets inside his famous Wonka chocolate bars giving those who find them the opportunity to tour his famous, secretive factory.
Charlie Bucket, a poor and kind-hearted boy who lives with his parents and all four of his grandparents, emerges as one of the five winners. This unexpected adventure truly transforms Charlie throughout the book, taking him on a journey full of imagination and wonder. And just like Charlie’s adventure, young writers will be encouraged to discover where their imaginations can take them.
