Introduction
Matilda is a five year old girl who reads books by Dickens and can solve long sums in her head.
But is put down by her crooked father sales man and is ignored by her bingo addicted mother. Matilda
decides that each time she is treated badly by her parents and is made miserable by them she will get
revenge in some way. She plays pranks on her parents which are devastating for them but make her feel
much better. The little girl’s prank include placing superglue around the rim of her father’s hat and
mixing her mother’s blond hair dye with her father’s hair tonic to make him look like a fool.

The main character in this book are Matilda, Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull. I liked Matilda
because she was very wise and curious and I also liked Miss Honey because she was helpful and kind.
Matilda has a superpower eyes. She can used them for lifting and breaking things. She protected the other
children in the class from Miss Trunchbull get her mansion back. At the end, she defeated the evil Miss
Trunchbull and it is really a happy ending (but you need to read the book to find out what happens).

This book is amazing. There is a lot of fantastic creative imagination. It was so enjoyable while
reading. It’s not that boring, because when you read it, it also has funny moments so that many readers
will enjoy it more. It was an unpredictable story. When I’m reading a book, I always guess what will
happen next. So If I guess right, the story will be boring to me. Because it was so common. But when I
read this book, I was so fascinated, amazed & etc.

Summary

Meet Matilda. She lived with her mean parents. We mean, they’re mean on mean. They ignore
her, which is extra tragic because she’s shaping up to be a super – genius. In spite of them, she teaches
herself to read, and heads to the local library, where Mrs. Phelps sets her up with a very advanced reading
list.
Sure, Matilda’s home life stinks. But she’s a clever girl, so she decides to play tricks on her
parents whenever they behave badly. She plays three pranks, gluing his dad’s hat to his head, disgusing a
neighbor’s parrot as a ghost, and dying her dad’s hair blonde. Yes, these are as awesome as they sound.

Then, Matilda starts going to school. On day one, her teacher Miss Honey quickly realizes how
smart Matilda is. Miss Honey even visits the headmistress, the Trunchbull, to ask for help with Matilda,
but the Trunchbull ain’t havin’ it. The same thing happens when Miss Honey visits the Wormwoods.
Meanwhile, Matilda and her friend Lavender meet Hortensia, who tells them all about how horrible
Trunchbull is. They see the Trunchbull throw a little girl through the playground by her hair. Another day,
the Trunchbull force-feeds a kid named Bruce Bogtrotter an entire cake. This woman is Bad News.

Lavender decides to prank the Trunchbull on a class visit. She captures a newt and puts it into the
Trunchbull’s water glass. The Trunchbull blames Matilda for the newt, which makes our girl so mad she
pushes the Trunchbull’s water glass over with her mind. Whoa. After class, she tells Miss Honey what
she did, and then she gives her teacher a little magic show, which results in Miss Honey inviting Matilda
to tea.
Turns out Miss Honey is really poor. She tells Matilda about her past. After her mom died, her
mean aunt straight up ruined her life, In fact, Miss Honey suspects that the aunt might have killed her
father, and stolen all Miss Honey’s money. Oh, and by the way, her aunt is the Trunchbull. We’re totally
serious.

Matildadecides to use her telekinesis powere to help Miss Honey, so she practices and practices
and practices until finally the day comes when she can get some serious revenge.

The Trunchbull visits Miss Honey’s class again. The Trunchbull is acting as abusive as ever when
she’s interrupted by a piece of chalk that’s writing on its own. It writes that the Trunchbull has to stop
cheating Miss Honey, give the things she stole back, and get rolling. Or else. Needless to say, the
Trunchbull passes out cold. Wouldn’t you?

Soon we find out the Trunchbull obeyed Matilda’s instructions. Miss Honey moves home and
starts living a decent life again. And Matilda, who visits her everyday, gets moved up to the school’s
highest class. After moving up, Matilda loses her powers. One day, she finds out that her parents are
planning to move to Spain, ASAP. Matilda doesn’t want to go with them.

And because Matilda doesn’t want to go to Spain, ASAP with her parents, she moves in with
Miss Honey, where the two lived happily (and smartly) ever after.

Review
Matilda is a children’s novel by British author Roald Dahl. It was published in 1988 by Jonathan
Cape, in London with illustrations by Quentin Blake.
The story is about Matilda Wormwood, an extraordinary child with ordinary and rather
unpleasant parents, who are contemptous of their daughters prodigious talents.
Matilda was adopted into a film in 1996, a two-part adaptation for BBC radio 4 (later rebroadcast
on BBC radio 4 extra) starring Nicola McAuliffe as Matilda and narrated by Lenny Henry and a musical
in 2010.
Matilda is an excellent book by the famous author, Roald Dahl, who also wrote" Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory", "James and the Giant Peach" and "The Twits".
Matilda is on the Premiers reading challenge and its ID is 252.
It is about a young girl called Matilda, who is five years old and she can multiply enormous
numbers like nineteen times fourteen, read adult novels like "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens and
many more amazing things, she even have special magic powers.
Unfortunately for Matilda her mother and father understimate her, treating her like a scab.
The children hating head mistress is even worse, she believes her parents, disbelieves Miss
Honey, refuses to put matildainn year six where she belongs and denies being a child once herself.
Matilda Wormwood is the main character in the story, and of the Matilda characters she is (by
far) the most likable.
At the beginning of the novel, we are introduced to Matilda as a 4 1/2 years old who possesses an
intellect far above her years.
Dahl even goes so far as to as to describe her as a "child-genius and prodigy". Matilda loves to
read eventhough her parents refuse to allow any books in the house - instead preffering that she and her
brother simply watch the television.
Later in the story, it is revealed that matilda also possesses the powers of psychokinesis (the
ability to move things with her mind) and it is implified that these powers are a result of the repressed
anger she feels towards her parents and head mistress who vacillate between ignoring and belittling her.
By the time matilda enters crunchen hall primary school she is 5 1/2 years old.
Michael Wormwood is matilda's older brother although he does not possess the same level of
intellect or ability as his sister, he is clearly the favourite of the Wormwood Household.
Mrs. Phepls is the local librarian who encourages matilda's love of reading.
Mr. Harry Wormwood is Matilda's father. Harry is also a used car dealer, and right from the start
of the book, we learned that he is a dishonest businessman.He puts sawdust in his cutomer's car to make
them sound better and runs the car backward to turn the mileage counters.
Instead of praising his daughter for her abilities, he constantly tells her that she is "ignorant and
stupid".
In fact, When matilda correctly adds several large sums in her head and presents the answers to
her father he calls her "a cheat and a liar".
Mrs. Wormwood, Matilda's mother, is described as a "larrge woman whose hair was dyed
patinum blonde except where you could see the mousy-brown bits growing out from the rooys."
She also "wore heavy make-up and had one of those unfortunate bulging figures where the flesh
appears to be strapped in all around the body to prevent it from faling out"
Mrs. Wormwood's only interests are watching american soap-operas and playing bingo everyday.
Like her husband, Mrs. Wormwood thinks very little of her daughter's unique abilities and often berates
her.
Fred is the young neighbor boy who lends Matilda his pet parrot.
Matilda later uses the parrot to play a prank on her family. Miss Jennifer Honey is Matilda's
teacher at Crunchen Hall Primary School.
Miss Honey is young, pretty, mild-mannered and "possessed that rare gift for being adored by
every small child under her care".
Later in the story, she becomes a great advocate for matilda.
Miss Truchbull is undoubtedly the most colorful in the cast of matilda characters.The head
mistress at Cruchem Hall Primary School, Miss Trunchbull serves as the "head teacher, the boss and the
supreme commander" who "insists on strict discipline throughout the school".

Conclusion
Matilda's father does something dodgy and the whole family have to go live in Spain. But Matilda
refuses to go, so Miss Honey adopt her.
I enjoyed this book because its different from other books and you don"t usually get a five year
old who reads Cahrles Dickens books and the parents don't think that its something special.
Another thing that I liked was that she gets her own back on her parents and stands up for herself.
I think everyone, everybody or anyone would love to read tha story of Maldita because its so very
enjoyable, its not too difficult to understand, we can surely learn a lesson that we might apply in our lives.
