Matilda is a wonderful book. It is about a child prodigy. This is the story of a sweet bright little 5 year old girl named Matilda, who is a child of exceptional intelligence. She reads books of author's like Dickens, Hemingway, etc. But unfortunately she is different from the rest of her family. Ignored at home all the time by her father and mother, Matilda escapes into a world of reading, exercising her mind so much that she develops telekinetic powers. She is sent off to a school headed by a cruel principal, Mrs. Trunchbull. Matilda finds warm-hearted Miss Honey, the first-grade teacher who recognizes the girl's remarkable skills--including a very special talent that allows the girl to fight the wicked grown ups.
Dahl's comic way of telling the story is nice. This book is a MUST READ for all.
