Matilda is a genius. It's not her fault that her parents don't care about her! By the age of 3, she has taught herself how to read, so when she learns that she can go to the library, she goes every day. She reads all kinds of books, and figures out ways to punish her parents for bad behavior, and finally her mother and father put her in kindergarten, with the wonderful Miss Honey, her teacher. Miss Honey immanently sees Matilda's calculator brain and amazing reading skills, and tells Miss Trunchbull, the awful headmistress, that she should be moved up to a higher class. Miss Trunchbull says no, and when she goes to talk to Matilda's parents, they are not at all kind to her. So, Matilda is bored out of her mind, but then she finds she can move things! With her brain! So, when she learns what Miss Trunchbull did to her friend, Miss Honey, she goes and figures out a way to defeat the Trunchbull. At the end, Miss Honey adopts Matilda as her own, and they live happily ever after! Great ending!

Roald Dahl is a great author and this is one of his best books! I recommend this book for students in third grade and above.

Roald Dahl once again made an exciting tale: this time about Matilda. I would totally recommend this book because the book is a classic. Matilda, a little girl who lives with a family that doesn't love her, was a clever genius. After reading a LOT of books from her local library, she starts to become so smart, that her brain can do magnificent things at her willpower. She plays pranks on her family to get back at them for being so mean to her. One day, her dad decides to let her go to kindergarten, which she dreamed of going to. She goes to kindergarten and already likes the teacher, Ms. Honey. There, she also meats the headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. Matilda learns that Ms. Trunchbull was Ms. Honey's aunt, which seemed unlikely. After learning that, she tries to get Ms. Trunchbull resigned and let Ms. Honey have back which was hers, Ms Honey's house. She succeeds and later gets adopted by Ms. Honey and live happily ever after. REALLY GOOD BOOK!

That book is amazing! It is about a girl who is very gifted and smart, though the only person who believes in her is her teacher!

Matilda, to me, was an amazing heroine and a strong protagonist in this story. I have always loved eccentric books, and Roald Dahl was one of my favorite authors so when I learned about Matilda I ate the book up. Clever characters were always my favorite, and Matilda was one of the most clever. In the end, I wished this story had a sequel because I thought the story should continue.

I loved this book! It is about a sweet and smart girl named Matilda. Everyone except her teacher hates her. I loved the ending when Mrs. Honey (the teacher) adopts Matilda. :)
