This story is about a little genius called Matilda, and her wish was to have a real friend but she discovered that she could be her own friend, while her family tricked others by selling cars in a very bad conditions by a very high price, she spent most of her time reading grown up books in the public library. She discovered that she had special powers because she could control things by only thinking about them, but she only used her special powers for the good. Would her wish come true?, What is going to happen with her family? I honestly enjoyed this book because it is very interesting. It´s funny because I like the way Roald Dahl invents words, it has lots of drawings and it describes very well all the scenes and the characters. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, this book is terrific! I highly recommend this fantastic book to everyone that likes mystery and fantasy. Once you start, you will realize that it´s a book that takes you to a magic world of fantasy that you will always record in your mind!

It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!
