Customer Reviews
Not same cover but still a great book, one of the best!
Plot: Matilda is an intelligent little girl who can read and has been reading before she could walk! Her parents are mean to him; she is a genius but they are the stupid ones. Matilda has been dreaming about school and when she finally does go it is half a nightmare...
An amazing fact about the book connected with the author: Roald Dahl imagined being a child an again when he wrote Matilda.
Another cool comment about the book: Matilda won the Children's Book Award in 1988 and was voted most popular in 1999 on World Book Day that year!
Rating and recommendation: 7/ 10; to all Roald Dahl fans.

It is a fantastic book to read.
Have you ever heard of a girl that has magical powers?
This book is about a girl that can do magic. Matilda has two horrible parents and a horrible brother. They have been very cruel to her and are mean to her because she is cleverer than them. She goes to school when she is 6 years old. She has a mean headmistress called Miss Trunchbull, and Miss Trunchbull throws somebody out of the window. Miss Honey, Matilda's teacher, is kind and nice.This book is all about how Matilda escapes from school and her parents.
My favourite character is Matilda because she is cleverer than everybody else.
My favourite part is when Miss Trunchbull swings a girl round by her hair and throws her across the playground.
I would recommend this book to people aged 7-11 because they would find it very funny.
