A cute little story for the chapter-book reading crowd. It is about a precocious five year old, named Matilda, who is sometimes a little too smart for her own good.

one of my favourite childhood films, but i had never read the book. it was narrated by kate winslet which was fun. it was a good story, some questionable bits in the way he described characters. 4 stars

Me gustó como explican más los poderes de Matilda y lo que ella siente al usarlos, pero en la película me gusta más cómo se deshace de Tronchatoro

I think these reprints with new covers by Quentin Blake, imagining Matilda in various careers aged thirty are really lovely. My copy was from NetGalley so I got to see all of the new covers and if I was a collecting sort of person I'd definitely want them all. There's a lovely short introduction by Quentin talking about his reasoning behind the covers too. Having said that, everything else about the books is the same. So if you are hoping for an update in the last chapter it won't happen. It is, however, still an excellent book in its original form.
