“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.

A super book. It was a fiction book. Ms Trunchball was my favourite character as she was fearless. I would definitely recommend this book.

I thought Matilda is a great book for pupils that love to read , and for people that love to read about other characters that love school and love to read , for some people like me it's like reading about yourself and others that love to read

I have read this book a hundred times and still love it even more each time. I love all of the characters who were mentioned in this book (even Miss Trunchbull) and how Matilda has loved reading ever since she was a little girl.

I read Matilda when I was preparing for a Book assembly at school. I had read parts of it when my daughter was first reading it ( bedtime reading - picking up where she’d left off the night before and having to quickly work out what was going on 😁 ) and had seen the film and most recently the film of the musical but I’m not sure that I’d actually read it myself.

I love the description of Matilda’s visits to the Library. 📚

There is a little girl called Matilda and she likes reading a lot, but her parents don't let her. Her parents are also horrible to her like calling her names.
