Outrageous Adults, One Genius Kid and a little magic!, March 22, 2004
This review is from: Matilda (Library Binding)
This delightful tale, about an extraordinary girl named Matilda who lives with her dreadful parents, was also made into a movie in 1996. Children love the absolute meanness of the adults in the book, and Matilda?s unique solution to her wretched life. Mr. Dahl, author of Charlie and the Chocolate factory and James and the Giant Peach, balances the ludicrous behavior of the adults in his book with the sweet natured child who has reached her limit. My children loved it -- an absolute keeper!

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Matilda (Library Binding)
This book is even better than the movie! It's about a girl named Matilda who is a genius. And she's only five! But she has bad, bad parents. When Matilda is left alone she goes to the library, and teaches her self to read. Then soon she has to go to school, and face Mrs.Trunchbull. The big, mean, and strong Trunchbull!
