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.

Matilda is really nice book about sweet little girl.......i just love it!!!! : )

I really liked this book because it kept you on the edge of your seat. You always want to know what the charactors will say or do next. I highly recomend this book.

Matila is about a girl who is really smart and her parents are really mean so she ends up living with her teacher

I'm so exited to read the book

I love this book I read it when I was younger and I just read it again last year and it never gets old :).

I liked Matilda a lot, she is a good girl but her parents are very naughty. I enjoyed all the things she did and I was very happy for her.
