Now a musical! 

Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a menacing, kid-hating headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!

Here is Roald Dahl's original novel of a little girl with extraordinary powers. This much-loved story has recently been made into a wonderful new musical, adapted by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.

This is an awesome book, when Matilda is little she is super smart then later on she has POWERS this is amazing to find out more read Matilda from Ronald Dahl.

This beautiful book is about a girl whose parents don't care about her. They don't bring her to school, so she goes to the library a lot., One day her real dad gets her so mad, when she looks at the TV, it breaks down. That's when she discovers her magical powers to move things (telekinesis).

matilda is a young girl girl that grows up with bad parents.Her parents don't care about college or school, just about telivision.Meanwhile, Matilda discovers that she has magical powers!Matilda can lift things up and control things with her mind but, only when she feels preasured or someone is mad at her. i would really recomend this book.

Matilda is a awesome book but I made me think I should do good in school so I don't get hurt. it made me think you should keep what you had

This is a good book about a girl who loves to read. She walks to the library and reads every book in the house. She is such a confident reader.
