Summary: The story of Matilda is about a young girl who has a gift. She can do so many mature things at such a young age that most people do not do until there way into there young adult lives. Matilda is a curious, smart, and sweet girl who only wants to go to school, and make friends. According to her new teacher Miss. Honey, she is a remarkable child, and is destined for many great accomplishments in life, but to her family, and her new principal Miss. Trunchbull, they think otherwise and not in the good way.Evaluation: The story of Matilda is a touching story filled with laughs, sad moments, and situations that you cannot help but relate to while reading. I remember I always wanted a teacher like Miss. Honey, and I feel like all children would love a teacher like that. This is a great story to read because I think children will be able to relate to it in some aspects, and it will be great for discussions. I recommend this book, and I personally will be having this book handy to read at some point whether it is in my class or with my own children in the future.
Ronald Dahl was one of my favorite authors growing up. All his children's books are great! ------- Amanda Tarantino
