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.

Great book! Love books by Roald Dahl!
Fantastic book read it like 10 times!
matilda is genius. i wish i could have special powers too. i love this book
This a awsome book about a small girl that goes to a new school and finds out that the hedmesstress is very mean. She findes out that she has special powers to knock things over and lift things. Will that be enough to stop the headmisstres?
I love this book so much!!!!!!:3
in second grade we did "roald dahl day." mostly because our teacher loved him so much. In the movie i liked the part where matilda pranks her dad.
Also, the book is way better than the movie! So if your teacher told you to read the book but you are just going to watch the movie, believe me-don't. I have read the book and watched the movie and by the way I write it should be obvious which is better. The book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After I read this book I instantly fell in love with Roald Dahl. Matilda is brilliant in such an unexepected way! I wish that I could move things with my mind!!!!!!!!!!! Anywho, if you're a person into fantasy, this is the right sort of book for you!
matilda is such a wonderful book. i have seen the movie but the book is SO much better. i so recomend this book. what a magical book to make you feel like you are right there. if you are looking for a fun book, this is one great book!
