This was so different reading as an adult & a mum. I remember Miss Trunchball being mean butisaw her has a horrible, violent and bullying brut. And I would do something about it as a parent. Words that Roald Dahl used I found funny and remember laughing at it has a child. I love Matilda, so brave, curious, and amazing, little girl. Brought back memories. I can see why my kids don't want to read it.
