Now a musical! 

Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a menacing, kid-hating headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!

Here is Roald Dahl's original novel of a little girl with extraordinary powers. This much-loved story has recently been made into a wonderful new musical, adapted by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.

You know a book is extremely good when you can remember the concept of it when you've read it over four years ago. This is exactly what happened to me when I read this book. When the movie came out, which was so good, I was just as excited to hear there was a book. So I read it and loved it, there are many heart wrenching and magical events that happen in Matilda's life. Please, read, you won't regret it!

I like the book,movie,and author. It is so cool. I love it .i recommend it a lot its funny to and has you hanging off your chair.

It's awesome. It's about a girl who is super smart and has a magical power. No one else thinks she is cool except one nice teacher.
