Matilda










Matilda by Roald Dahl is a 528 page book filled with revenge, magic, and illegal/immoral events. Matilda, a kindergardener, is born with not only mind boggling knowledge, but the ability to control objects with her mind. Her teacher, Ms. Honey, embraces her talents and cherishes her love of learning. When it is revealed that the evil headmistress, Ms. Trunchbull is Ms. Honey's awful aunt that both raised her wrong, and kept hold of all of her father's belongings, things go awry. Ms. Trunchbull goes missing out of nowhere, and Matilda's father is caught red-handed selling old, stolen cars with sawdust put in the engine, trying to look new. Matilda's family has to move to Spain to avoid getting into legal issues. In the end, Matilda moves out of her horrid house she was living in, and moves in with Ms. Honey. (And they all live happily ever after......)
