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.

This is a really good book. Love the characters

This is a great book. Her parents were so mean to her, and so is Ms. Trunchbull. I am glad she got to stay with someone who she really loves at the end.(She stays with Ms. Honey, her teacher). She is a really nice person.

I LOVE this book. It is so cute and I always wanted a teacher like the one Matilda has. I chose the old school cover because I'm old school.

This is a great book, inspired by Wolfgang amedius motzart

It's great. I read the book and watched the movie, and I feel sad for Matilda. I'm glad she got to stay with Miss Honey at the end.

Matilda was a great funny and sweet book. She has a very special gift and I enjoyed reading about it.
