Book review 12: Matilda

Matilda

This book is about a young girl named Matilda. Matilda has one brother . Her mother and father cared for her brother more than her. At the age of three Matilda could read chapter books and her parents didn’t even care not one of them. Then at the age of five Matilda finished reading all the adult and kids books and she became very smart. When she went to school she had one friend. Her friend was a girl named Lavender. Lavender was very kind and nice to Matilda. At school Matilda had a teacher named Miss Honey. Miss Honey was very sweet to Matilda. She was always there to help her and she cared for Matilda probably more than Matilda’s parents did. In class Matilda was the smartest out of all of them. Matilda was the only one who could read adult and big chapter books while the other students couldn’t. Matilda is not like any ordinary person. She has powers. She can move things with her eyes by concentrating on the object. When Matilda tries to tell her parents something her mother and father would always say they were too busy. The business that her father and mother are doing is just spending too much time with Matilda’s brother and wasn't even letting Matilda there own daughter tell them something. Matilda always felt left out and lonely. The happy part was that Matilda was lucky to have Miss Honey as her teacher because Miss Honey would always give time for her students and even Matilda. Matilda felt very happy that someone did care for her and not leave her out of something. Then Matilda’s parents wanted to move house but Miss Honey really wanted Matilda to stay so Miss Honey adopted Matilda and she was Matilda’s new mother.

My favourite part in the book was that Miss Honey got to adopt Matilda because Matilda’s other parents didn’t even care for Matilda as Miss Honey did. My favourite character in this book is Matilda. She is my favourite character because she has magic powers and she is amazing. I also like Matilda because she could read adult and kids books at the age of three. Even when Matilda’s parents didn't care for her she would still be a happy ordinary girl.

I recommend this book for people who love reading Roald Dahl books and for people who love reading chapter books with people who have magic powers. The ages I would recommend this book for is 9 and over because it is very interesting and I think that they will like it too.
