“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 a really funny book.It was about a girl called Matilda and her terrifying
headmistress Miss Trunchbull. If you did a mstake you would get thrown out of the window or the playground.

It is really funny

I think Matilda was extremely smart and may have been the smartest in the book.
I liked Miss Honey because she had adopted Matilda with all of her love.
It was Fiction because Matilda could move things with her mind at the end of the book.
I would recommend it because it is fascinating how a little girl can do maths problems such as 1397x9.

This is really good, I didn't want to put the book down. I have the film, but i prefer the book any day. I have read this book before, just love the story line and Matilda herself. I try to put myself in her shoes.

Great book!

Dramatic and magical

One of my all time favourite books. I first saw this as a film but much preferred the book as you get more of an insight into Matilda's thoughts and feelings.

This book was fiction. My favourite character was Lavendee because she was the person who put the newt in the jug.

Matilda is brilliant but her parents don't like her. They decide to leave Matilda with her nursery teacher and live happily ever after.

Matilda is a very smart girl.I loved how much she was proud and loved books.The author is smart, funny and he is not afraid to be funny and smart. He showed us that even little kids can be very smart.I loved the names of the kids.Even parents can’t be perfect.Like Matilda her parents are not happy.But Matilda can do stuff herself.Even her brother is mean . Matilda learned how to read at a very young age.I love the author’s books.If you like words, drawing and a wonderful story this is what you should read.If you can’t do something then you get in trouble and it is for a good reason Keep going and never give up that is what this is about.The author would say be proud of you, be yourself and don’t stop.
