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.

I liked the book because it was so good.I felt so sorry for Matilda when somebody shouted at her but she was brave enough to think of a plan to save her teacher.I will reckommend this book to 7+ children because it can be too scary to younger children.

I loved the book! I loved the characters and especially found the part when Ms. Trunchbull threw the girl out the school by her pigtails. Would recommend!

My favourite part was when at the end miss trunchball got knocked out of the classroom and every single child in the school came out with some fruit from their lunchboxes and threw it at her.

i enjoyed this book but not that much because of Matilda's mean aggressive parent's. My favorite character is Miss Honey because she pays attention to her students. I don't highly recommend this book.

I thought it was amazing. It told the story of Matilda's life and how difficult it was for her and she likes reading just like me. It is amazing that she has such extraordinary Brain power for a five-year old.
