Matilda

Matilda is a five-year-old genius blessed with amazing mental powers. She loves to learn and has read all the great classics of literature – but instead of being proud, her horrible parents call her an ignorant liar. But when her parents and her vile head-teacher Miss Trunchbull try to ruin her life, they’ve reckoned without one thing Matilda can do which nobody else can…

    Matilda is a funny, exciting story about a 7-year-old genius. Matilda’s family are all couch potatos and they do nothing but watch tv and each off trays in the living room, whereas matilda loves to sit in a corner and read a good book much like myself. Her family don’t except her or even realise she’s there at all. Matilda go to school and has a lovely teacher, Miss Honey, but a horrid Head Mistress, Miss Trunchbull. I would recomend this book to every one I know. I think they would love it, so you should give it a go.
