Product Description
Book Description
Matilda is a precocious five-year-old who has read Dickens and is a math whiz. Unfortunately, she must contend with nasty Mrs.Trunchbull, her teacher. But once again, Dahl gives his young protagonist “the inventive powers to… revenge [herself] humorously against her oppressor.” (Times Literary Supplement).
From the Publisher
Matilda applies her untapped mental powers to rid the school of the evil, child-hating headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, and restore her nice teacher, Miss Honey, to financial security.

BOOK REVIEW FOR MATILDA
4/16/02 Arvin
I really liked the book Matilda because the author that wrote this book wrote lots and lots of details in the book that you could imagine the picture of what it would be like. Also I like this book because the girl in the story is very determined to study.
In this story, a little girl lives with two mean parents who are upsets with watching T.V including their son. But not Matilda! She wants to read and study. So when in the morning Matildaï¿s mom goes out to play bingo and her dad goes to his business with her brother going to school, Matilda goes to the library to read.
One day Matilda goes to school and meets a wonderful teacher. Miss Honey! But not only does Matilda meet a nice teacher, but also Matilda finds out something about her that no one else can do. Magic! Matilda uses her ability on her real enemy The Trunchbull.
Through reading this book, I have learned a valuable lesson. The father of Matilda loved to earn money so he cheated on the people, and his cars were cheap and would break down very fast. That was lying. I learned not to lie because Matildaï¿s father got in trouble and ran away. Another lesson I learned was to not give up! When Matilda meets the mean principle, Matilda didnï¿t stop standing up for herself and did not give up.
Read this trilling story to walk through the adventures with Matilda! It will never get off your hands until you are finished reading this book. I loved this book and I think you will too!
Another Dahl Masterpiece...
April 14 2002
Format:Paperback
Matilda is the enchanting tale of a five-year-old girl who has more brain power than any adult you'll come across. Matilda Wormwood started showing her spectacular skills at birth, but her parents(the naive little gits), did not take the slightest of notice. Soon enough, however, she is sent to Crunchem Hall, a horrid school whose Headmistress is the Towering Terror, The Trunchbull. She hates children, and will stop at nothing to make their lives miserable. She too fails to notice Matilda's extraordinary prowess. But, the Trunchbull does get her just desserts. Using her newly found telekinetic powers, Matilda gets revenge on all those who abused and neglected her. You can take my word for it, or read the book for yourself. The choice is yours.
All I can say to conclude this is that Roald Dahl's Matilda is definitely worth the time.
This book is a great book!

Matilda was good,very good because it had a very good story. The story is about a girl named Matilda who is a very good reader and goes to school. Mrs. Trunchball is the head mistress at her school. She is very mean to all the children. The end is really surprising. I can't tell you the ending or I would give it away.
Roald Dahl has written other books like The Enormous Crocodile, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, George's Marvelous Medicine, The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me, The Twits, The BFG, and the Magic Finger. I have read all of these books by Roald Dahl. My favorite is The Enormous Crocodile. Matilda is my second favorite.
