I love this book, but I feel bad for Matilda because her parents are so mean to her. I love the ending when Mrs. Honey adopts Matilda
This book is about a girl named Matilda. She is a sweet, smart, and nice girl unlike her bratty brother. Read this book to find out what experiences Matilda goes through.
this is my favorite Rhonald Dahl book. such a magical story. the movie is really good but the book is better
It really good.I'm reading it now Matailda has crazy parents that don"t notice her.
I recommend this book because it is about a girl who parents do not care about her. Also she goes to school and her teacher is very nice but not the principal she is very mean. At the end she finds a person who really care about her. It a really good book and I recommend you read this book.
I think it is really good and me.honey is really nice.
This book was OK, my class read it last year towards the end of the school year on May something but we hardly had enough time to read it so we didn't finish it.
