DESCRIPTION:
From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG!Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!"Matilda will surely go straight to children's hearts." —The New York Times Book Review. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a kid-hating terror of a headmistress
Roald Dahl, while keeping the plot moving imaginatively, also has an unerring ear for emotional truth. But everything is not perfect in Matilda's world. For starters she has two of the most idiotic, self-centered parents who ever lived. ("The") Trunchbull, a former hammer-throwing champion who flings children at will and is approximately as sympathetic as a bulldozer. Even more remarkably, her classmates love her even though she's a super-nerd and the teacher's pet. She warms up with some practical jokes aimed at her hapless parents, but the true test comes when she rallies in defense of her teacher, the sweet Miss Honey, against the diabolical Trunchbull. Fortunately for Matilda, she has the inner resources to deal with such annoyances: astonishing intelligence, saintly patience, and an innate predilection for revenge. (Ages 9 to 12)

There's pages that won't download and it's very frustrating trying to read a story that has several pages missing.. The Big Friendly Giant is a BIG hit! Amanda J Branum My daughter is going into the 3rd grade this year and I really wanted to teach her that most books are even better than the movies that are made about them. When I read that The BFG movie would be coming out this summer I figured this would be a wonderful opportunity. Immediately she was drawn to the book when she realized author Roald Dahl is the genius behind many of her other belo
