“A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero” David Walliams
Matilda’s parents have called her some terrible things, but the truth is she’s a genius and they’re the stupid ones. Underestimating Matilda proves to be a big mistake as they, along with her spiteful headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, soon find out when Matilda discovers she has a very special power.

This was the hardest book I have read and took me two weeks reading a chapter a night. I loved it!!!! I found the trunchbull character funny but mean and I liked Bruce bogtrotter too. This book also had colour pictures in it which broke the text up and made the read even more enjoyable. Recommend anyone to read this book.

I would recommend this book. It's about a little girl who likes reading and her parents don't encourage reading.

I enjoyed reading Matilda as I have watched the movie so it's unique how the have similarities but are different. I liked both the book and the movie and would recommend this book to others. My favourite character is Bruce Boggtrotter as I found him funny.

I enjoyed this book, she loved to read and read from a young age. She was very brave.
My best part is when Matilda put sticky glue to her dad's hat.

I like the movie and the Revolting children son I the film. The book had soms big words and it was hard to read for me.

30 Aug 2024

I read this book for my littler sister whe likes Revoulting Children and watched the movie for Matilda so I read the book to her. It is fiction and I like Bruc eating the cake part but not the whole story. The movie is better.

My favourite character was Matilda because she is smart.
My favourite part of the book was when Miss Honey was holding Matilda in her arms.
Matilda is a nonfiction book because it hapend in real life.
I would recommend this book because it is full of action.

I love this book -I like Matilda and Miss Honey. I like it when Matilda does things to bad people and they don't know it's her that's doing it. I like it when she swings Miss Trunchbull by her pigtails at the end.

Matilda was my favourite character because she was really smart and even though she missed school she was still really smart because she would read books. I would recommend this to someone because it's a really fun and interesting book.
