This book is about a girl who has been blessed with the intelligence of knowing everything but her family just see her as a girl who sits in the corner.
If you liked the movie then you will LOVE this!!

Matilda’s mum always went to bingo in the afternoon, her brother went to school during the day and her dad was a car dealer.

.Matilda discovers her love of books and by the age of three, has taught herself to read. At four she has read all the children’s stories in the library. She is oblivious to her brilliance and her parents are less than encouraging. “What’s wrong with the telly, for heaven’s sake?” her father demands, while her mother insists that brains never got a woman anywhere.

It is not until Matilda attends school and meets the lovely Miss Honey that anyone begins to nurture her talent. But things don’t become easier for Matilda there. She must survive a place ruled by the frightening and larger-than-life Miss Trunchbull who has Matilda in her sights, insisting she is “a nasty little worm”.
Within the familiar schoolground setting, Roald Dahl takes his readers into the world of one little girl enduring cruelty, loneliness and an overwhelming power to teach lessons to the adults in her life. The combination of speaking directly to the reader and crawling into the minds of his characters, is classic Dahl. Only he could be responsible for dreaming up the amazing tales of disciplinary proceedings at Crunchem Hall Primary School.
This story is beautifully heartwarming; a surprising mix of humour, adventure and mystery. And, as with any Dahl story, Matilda provides a strong message to children: you can do it.

I loved the book. I’m known as Matilda around my school. I absolutely love Miss Honey, she is perfect! This is absolutely brilliant for children all ages. (Mostly older children) I love the fact that she has magical powers!

When I read Matilda it was a really great book especially when the mute went on Mrs Trunchbull and she started screaming. It is a really awesome book for kids 9-10 and you learn some new words too. I think you should read it because it is really interesting and brings the reader’s attention!

A wonderful Roald Dahl story. Matilda is indeed one of his best books. Matilda is a five year old genius who starts reading around the age of one. Still the book has a magical touch…
