Matilda
by Roald Dahl
22/240 pages
Review by Shelly Ness
This week I started reading a book called Matilda. It is about a girl called Matilda that has a brilliant mind. She taught herself to read and speak in English perfectly at age 1! She has nasty parents that don't care about her and think that a good education for kids is to watch the telly (TV) all day instead of reading and writing. She has a brother called Michael that is 5 years older than Matilda and he is an annoying little brat. Matilda wanted to start reading books so she asked her father is she can get a book, but he didn't agree and said that she is becoming spoiled so because she is older she decided to go to the library while her parents were at work and her brother at school and started to read books from the library! every afternoon she would do that and that is how it went on for months. I recommend this book because it shows how some children are treated (luckily none of us) and because it is a really good and funny book!I like this this book because it is really interesting because this is not anything like my life and imagining it is really funny but sad!

A word that was in the story that i didn't understand was astounded the sentence was "a great number said the astounded Mrs Phelps. Astounded means surprised or shocked for example "Matilda was astounded by the book".
