Matilda

The book Matilda is by Roald Dahl. This is a fantasy and adventure book. It is about a very clever girl called Matilda, she found out  that she has special powers in her eyes, she can lift things up and move things with her pure mind power, this is due to too much intelligence and nowhere to spend it as her greedy parents Mrs Wormwood and Mr Wormwood believed that she is stupid and they forgot to send her to school! Mr Wormwood is greedy, he steals cars and sells them for money, Mrs Wormwood is false and disgusting, she thinks beauty is the most important thing in the world.

When Matilda finally went to school, the school principal Mrs Trunchbull was violent and mean, she hated children and often bullied them,. Matilda made friends with Mrs Honey who was nice, friendly and a respectable teacher, she gave good advice and understood Matilda's feelings.

The theme of the book is about children, their famlies, justice, revenge and power. The message that the author tried to give us was bullies can back-fire sometimes and don't do mean things because you don't know who is watching and everything bad you do will come back to you.
