Matilda!

Last year, I read one of happiest books I have ever read. The book is Matilda. Have you read it? If the answer is no and you want to have fun and enjoy reading, I recommend you to read this book.

Matilda, written by Roald Dahl, is considered one of the most popular children’s books of the World. It is a fiction book where a little girl – called Matilda – will show us how geniuses children can be.

Matilda will start reading and learning new things alone, by herself. She learns how to go to the library and reads books. She even takes them to her house in order to read them, instead of watching television. One day, her parents decide to take her to school to make her learning new things. Matilda will show her teacher – Miss Honey – how lovely, imaginative and intelligent she is. She will learn faster than her classmates. However, she will face new problems soon and everything will become more difficult. The headmaster – Mrs. Trunchbull – and her parents will make things more complicated. Matilda will surprise everyone and her intelligence will help her in her dayly problems. Miss Honey and Matilda will share their own secrets but that is something that the reader must discover by reading the book.

The book is mainly written for children, with many drawings and funny anecdotes. However, it could perfectly be read by adults, making them viewing life from another point of view. In fact, it is a children’s book that everybody should read.
