Product Description
Matilda is a brilliant and sensitive child, but her parents think of her only as a nuisance. Even before she is five years old, she has read Dickens and Hemingway and still her parents think of her as a pest. So she decides to get back at them. Her platinum-haired mother and car salesman father are no match for her sharp genius, and neither is the cruel headmistress Miss Trunchbull. And then she child prodigy discovers she has an extraordinary psychic power that can save her school and especially the lovely kindergarten teacher, Miss Honey.

Matilda is a masterpiece for me.Roald Dahl makes reading easy by using simple english as a medium.It makes it is suitable for anybody from any range of ages.The story is absolutely interesting.Although I think this story is supposed to be a funny story, but in a unique way it delivered a massage that every parents should know.Between work and everything,child is a special gift.We should charish it.I recomended this book for anybody that want to start reading thick story books.The english is simple and the book will make you keep on reading from cover to cover.I think whoever buy it will find it worth it.Actually Matilda is one of my favourite.And the character that I like in this book,is the salamder.Enjoy your reading!
