Review by Miranda Taylor of “Matilda” by Roald Dahl
This is now my favourite book.
I love Matilda, the main character. She is very cute and also very clever. In the story, she realises she has magical powers. She also loves reading. She is the cleverest person in the school.
My favourite chapter is the one where Bruce Bogtrotter eats all the chocolate cake. I love the picture of him afterwards, when he is happy and fat from all the cake, and he has beaten the Trunchbull.
I also like the end of the book, because the Trunchbull thinks she is being haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Honey’s daddy. She gets very scared and runs away. Then Miss Honey lives in her house and adopts Matilda, and they live happily ever after.
