“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.

matilda
I love the part where Miss Trunchball makes the boy eat lots of chocolate
Great story. Great characters. Amanda Threp is my favourite.
She likes books like me
Not quite as funny as the twits. I want to have powers too
I like the book Matilda because Matilda is a brave girl and loves books like me I also like her teacher Miss Honey because compared to all the other teachers at Matilda's school she is the nicest. Miss Trunchbull the head teacher is like the meanest person on earth and I am surprised that she is very very proud of it. Matilda's parents hated Matilda as well.
Matilda didn't give up even though Miss Trunchball was very mean.
I think this book is very good. Definitely read it!
I think it’s a wonderful book because you can learn that even if you’re in a bad situation just stand up for yourself.
My favorite character is the main character which is Matilda because she’s very brave and she’s very smart.
My favorite part is when Miss Trunchbull throws a girl by the pink tails.
I like Matilda because she uses her powers to be good and teach Miss Trunchball a lesson
I don’t like Matilda that much but it was
adventurous
She is such a brave and clever girl. It’s lovely when she keeps singing.
Loved everything ab out this book and will definitely recommend for others to read.
A classic! I have read this book a number of times and have also seen the film and live show of the same name.
Definitely a classic for a reason! I loved Matilda as a child and I love coming back to it, in every retelling of the story, as an adult. Introducing children to lovable, exciting characters who love to read as much as Matilda does is definitely one way of helping to foster a love of reading.
This book is all about a smart girl who has mean and horrible parents. Her name is Matilda. She goes to a school called Crunchem Hall Primary School. She showed those horrible grown ups that even though she is small, she can be very smart.
One of my favourite books that I could read over and over again.
I love this book. I like Matilda and Miss Honey the best.
I would recommend this book to everybody.
Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors. This book is very funny and the musical is good.
I enjoyed this book. It is funny.
I like the part where she finds out that she has special powers.
I love the book so much it's like a magnet I keep coming back to it I wish I had the eye power like her to move things with her eyes it's so cool.
I love matilda and enjoyed reading this book
