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.

I love this booK- and also the others by Ranold dahl. He's one of my favorite auters. It about a girl with mean parents and a sweet teacher. She sort of have super eye powers. I hate the mean headmaster.

This book is a perfect balance of humor, wonder, and inspiration. Matilda is a tiny, 6 or 7 year old girl genius stuck in 1st grade, whats more, she is completely unaware of it! Another reason form me to LOVE Roald Dahl.

who can possibly forget about the movie and the book? There both so good. My favorite characters are Lavender, Matilda, and ms. Honey

this book is really cute. it is about this girl named matilda and her parents don't take very good care of her so she finds out how to do things on her own.

This is a really cool book about a girl genius and what she has to endure with her unappreciative family.

roald dahl is such a creative story writer. How did he come up with the bfg , matilda, James and the giant peach, the twits, the witches, and many more. Remember read his books it will make his soul happy. and when you read his his books you might see misspelled word don't worry he's from ingland.

Its awesome Roald Dahl made a great book. Everyone should read it. I read it in the summer and kept on reading it until i got to know what happend to Matilda and Miss Honey.
