To me, this book is as extraordinary as it was when I first read it when I was 11 years old. I simply adore it. I enjoyed the movie too, but there is nothing like re-reading the book. I know people complain that a lot of things don't make sense, but this is a book for children. It is supposed not to make sense at points. It is magical. I love the way it gives such powers to a child. The story is humorous and witty. Matilda, Lavander, and Miss Honey are my favourite characters. Of course, I hate Matilda's parents. They are nothing like my parents, therefore I could never get how a family could treat their child this way, especially an extraordinary one. I knew there are such parents but it 's just never made sense to me how someone could bring a child to this world and never again care about it. I don't think it makes sense at all.

I believe this is a book every child should read. As for me...it fueled my want to be a teacher and made me feel empowered. I've always been a bookworm and much like Matilda, I'd read books that weren't children's books from a very young age. My mom and my teachers encouraged this habit of mine but most of my friends weren't interested in books. It was wonderful finding another child, even a fictional one, who read Dickens so young. I was lucky to have my mother who gave me more and more of these books. So, I believe Matilda should have felt really lonely and lost until she found Miss Honey.
