Product description
Matilda is a five-year-old genius blessed with amazing mental powers. She loves to learn and has read all the great classics of literature – but instead of being proud of her, her horrible parents call her an ignorant liar. But when her parents and the vile school headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, try to ruin her life, they’ve reckoned without kind teacher Miss Honey… and one thing Matilda can do which nobody else can! A rich and splendid tale from Roald Dahl, which celebrates the many worlds that books and stories open up, and encourages children to use their imaginations and strive to follow their dreams.
Also available: Read and Respond activities to accompany Matilda.

on 8 March 2014This is a really good book.this reminds me of one of my history lessons we lernt women and girls were treated like they were less clever then men in this book matilda is treated like she is stupid weak and she cant achieve much on the other hand matildas brother who is treated nicely and spoilt is completley stupid compared to matilda This story sort of shows how women and girls were treat before world war 1

on 8 March 2014“I’m right and you’re wrong, I’m big and you’re small, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” ― Roald Dahl, Matilda
Very entertaining and enjoyable! I wish I was like Matilda, the child prodigy, except not with her family. I’d love to have Miss Honey as a teacher. Moreover, if you have not seen the film, it is advisable to read the book first!

on 8 January 2014This book was nothing even close to rubbish. It was enchanting in the way that Matilda cast her underdog like charm over you as you read and she seems so little and innocent, but she can do the most amazing things. I’m not going to spoil the end for those who are currently reading it, but you folks will never expect what’s coming.

on 3 November 2013I definitely recommend this book to everybody. It is filled with good humour and BRAINS!!! Matilda is a very brainy girl and if you know she has the power to knock the headteacher down to the floor. I recommend this book to everybody like I’ve already said. This is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read.

on 20 May 2012Matilda is marvellous. It’s about a girl called Matilda who is super intellegent. She could tell you what 14×19 is in a second. You just had to read it.And if do start reading it you will tell yourself you just have to read it again and again and again. Out of 100% I tell you it is 100%. If Matilda is the first book you are reading you will just tell your parents you want more of the Roald Dahl books!

on 3 March 2012Roald Dahl has always played an important part in my childhood. It was like the books were an example for allmothers, and I remember picking up Matilda for the first time from a book shop and being shocked at how much i’d been missing out on. It’s both witty and yet quietly sad, a brill read for first time readers, or anybody who loves a bit of Roald Dahl.

on 20 January 2011THIS WAS MY FIRST ROALD DAHL BOOK I HAVE READ.WHEN MY SISTER GOT THE BOOK FROM HER FRIEND I TREID A PAGE AND I LOVED IT LATER WE ORDERD THE FULL SET FROM A SCHOOL ORDER. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MONTHS TO READ IT. BUT THE OTHER BIG BOOKS TOOK ABOUT LESS THAN A MONTH TO READ.HER TEACHER, IT IS NOT A NICE LIFE LIVING IN HER HOUSE. HER DAD IS SOOOOOOMEAN I WOULD HATE A DAD LIKE THAT. I WONDER WHAT HER LIFE WAS LIKE AFTERTHAT.I WISH I WAS LIKE MATILDA WHEN IWAS 3.AND IF I WAS MATILDA I WOULD LOVETO GO BINGO WITH HER (BUT WITH MY REALMUM).I HOPE HER FAMILY STAYED IN SPAIN.

on 7 December 2010This book is great!!! I loved it so much that i read it in one night. This story is about a girl who is only 4 years old and has a pasion for reading although her parents are aganst it. When she starts primary school she is the smartest in the class, Miss Honey (her teacher) is amazed at what she can do,but Miss Trunchbull (evil headteacher) hates her so can Matilda save the day? This book was amazing i liked the bit were she writes on the chalk board and Iwould reccomend this to anyone and everyone. Though it’s long it’s NOT boring and know is my 2nd favourite book. Hope you like it as much as i have.

on 28 February 2010Matilda is a funny, exciting story about a 7-year-old genius. Matilda’s family are all couch potatos and they do nothing but watch tv and each off trays in the living room, whereas matilda loves to sit in a corner and read a good book much like myself. Her family don’t except her or even realise she’s there at all. Matilda go to school and has a lovely teacher, Miss Honey, but a horrid Head Mistress, Miss Trunchbull. I would recomend this book to every one I know. I think they would love it, so you should give it a go.

on 22 October 2009I loved this book partly because the character is basicly the same as me.
Matilda is about a young girl who grows up to become a smart mature girl but is let down by her terrible parents.But Matilda comes up with amazing tricks that will blow you out your ceiling. This is a amazing book for people who love adventures. Rating:* My age certificate:6+

on 3 October 2009It is such a good book i have read it and watched the film it’s really brilliant but the parents are so bad and don’t really care about her. also Matilda has magic powers if you haven’t read this you should because it is a amazing book so get reading.

on 21 June 2009WOW WOW WOW oh my god this was exelant what an ending. I wounder where Miss Trunchtwit is. Well at least she is gone. All Matilda has to worry about is how good can miss honey cook and will miss honey ever get maried ? Important questions. I really hope miss honey and Matilda really do have a hapily ever after. Matilda is a magical girl and echived any thing she set her mind to. I wish i could be just like her! I just wish that Roald dalh could of stayed alive long enough to write a Matilda 2,3 and 4. I would have loved to know what other adventures she got up to. Like her parents coming to get her back or miss trunchball ariving. Would the character changed or be sacly the same as before and how will miss honey and Matilda (mother and daughter) deal with it this time? And to make it even more exsiting maltidas powers could fade.That would be great. But sadly are beloved Roald Dahl has died…........................

on 29 October 2008I found this book very interesting and amusing. I felt for Matilda and at times felt like I knew how she was feeling. At the best of times, I felt anxious and eager to find out what was going to happen next! It most certainly was a book that I could’nt put down!! This book also encouraged to work through Roald Dahl’s collection and to continue reading his fabulous books!

Roald Dahl Matilda
Roald Dahl books are really funny to me.I am going to share one of my favourites called Matilda. In the story she lived with two parents who thought she was a brat but they are wrong. Mr Woormwood and Mrs Woormwood (Matilda's parents)absolutely hated her in fact they never noticed something special because they are all ways messed up with there silly lives and a useless box. In the book Matilda puts lots of plots on her parents whenever they are mean to her so it makes her feel rather fair.At Matilda's school there is a mean principle named Mrs Trunchball and she was Miss Honeys aunt, she very strict.The adventures and the risks Matilda takes are fabulous. I would recommend this book to people who like adventures. Anyone can enjoy a story like Matilda.
