“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.

It was funny and my favourite character Bruce

I like how Miss Trunchaball is mean and comes up with all different punishments. I like the contrast between Miss Honey and Miss Truncheball where one is very mean and the other very kind. My favourite character is Matilda because I like all the tricks she does like sticking the dads hat to his head and turning his hair green. I would recommend this book to any school age children because they will enjoy it.

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.

It was quite funny and I liked when Matilda wrote words on the board and Ms Trunchbull fainted.

30 Aug 2024

A huge fan favourite. I had higher expectations. Enjoyed most of it but probably won't read again.

30 Aug 2024

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.
