Matilda

Matilda is a funny, and great book written by the author Roald Dahl. It teaches me a lot about that reading can take you to new places. It is about a five year old very smart and amazing girl who could already talk at age one and a half! But unlike any other parents, her mom and dad said she was a chatterbox, and how girls at age one should be seen, not heard. And a few other things that sets her parents apart from ordinary ones is, they hardly have any books, and they always eat dinner in front of the TV. Now, Matilda does these pranks on her family hopefully to teach them a lesson, and to teach them not to be so abusive towards their daughter. but maybe because of bad luck, they are only temporary, then she expects school to be different, but there is 200 pounds of a kid hating headmistress named the trunchbull, who picks on little kids including Matilda! Eventually, she finds she has a special power against the headmistress. What is the power? How will Matilda teach her a lesson? Read the book to find out.
