An adventurous, lively book that will keep you reading!

Matilda is a lovely, sharp and wily character. She enjoys reading and is really smart. Matilda’s parents are not as pleasant  and bright as there daughter. They always leave Matilda home alone even at the age of 3 this is because her dad goes to work, her mum goes to bingo and her brother goes to baseball practice.

Road Dahl was going to make Matilda a wicked child and her parents really nice, but decided to make Matilda the smart powerful one  and her parents the horrible, wicked ones. I agree with Road Dahl because Matilda is a lovely character and it wouldn’t be the same if she was mean and horrible.

The theme of this book is friendship and perseverance, because Matilda perseveres with Mrs Trenchball always on her case. Matilda makes lots of new friends at her New school.Miss Trenchball reminds me of  Mrs Twit. I recommend  this book to anyone who loves adventures and lively mysterious books.
