Matilda is a young girl who extra- extraordinary. She reads a lot of books and has more wisdom than average adults. Her crooked parents don't let her read and force her to watch the television. They joined her to a school where there is a sweet teacher and a terrible headmistress who locks kids in a
narrow room covered with nails on all sides. Her father is a cheat who sells old second hand cars by making them look new. So, Matilda superglued her father's hat to his head and made him blond. Later she came to know that her headmistress, Miss Trunchbull was her Sweet teacher, Miss Honey's aunt. She learned that Miss Honey's father, Magnus was killed by miss trunchbull and miss trunchbull had tortured miss honey a lot. So in anger, matilda felt a force from her eyes and she could lift things without touching them and by making them float with her eyes. One day when miss trunchbull was inspecting the class, Matilda lifted the chalk with her eyes and wrote on the board, a scary message. After looking at it Miss trunchbull left the town. And later she lives with miss honey and leaves her parents.

This is my favorite Roald Dahl book. Matilda is my hero and my idol to this day. She is wonderful, wicked, witty, and wild. This book is magical and Matilda is a great role model for any person, young or old, boy or girl.
