I decided to read this book because I got it for Christmas and I have watched the movie lots of times and I loved it!! The book has a lot of detail.
The first time you read this story, savor the beautiful plot. Think of Matilda, her parents, and Miss Honey... Matilda was about a young, intelligent girl. Since the day Matilda was born, she was different from her family. Her mother, Mrs. Wormwood, and her father, Mr. Wormwood, believed that TV was the path to education. However, Matilda began reading at quite an early age. Matilda had been mistreated by her parents, who didn't care for her at all. Through books, poems, and dictionaries, Matilda become very smart, and her imagination led her to amazing places... places where she could be away from the wrath of Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood. When Matilda finally begins school (she was six when she finally began) she meets her sweet, calm, bright teacher, Miss Honey. But before Matilda gets her hopes high for a beautiful school year, she meets Ms. Trunchbull, the vicious, stubborn, evil headmistress of Crunchem Hall Primary School. Ms. Trunchbull hates all children... as a matter of fact, she hated everyone. Throughout this story, secrets unfold between Matilda, and Matilda discovers that she has powers to fight the bullies in her life...
Beautiful answer. I saw Matilda on Broadway!
