1. Matilda
This jam-packed book full of excitement and
wonder is about a small girl who has a very
intellectual mind. Matilda Wormwood is definitely
NOT like any other members of her family. His
father is car sales cheat, his mother is a full-time
bingo player and her chubby brother is destined to
take over his dad’s crummy business in the future.
Her parents think she is an utter nuisance that
should watch more TV than reading books. How
silly! Her overly nice classroom teacher, Miss.
Honey finds that she has an extraordinary brain for
such a small child. She tricks her parents and her
principal should better watch out!
