i was, as i'm sure many of you were too, an incredible nerd in childhood. an indoors kid. a dork. in other words, a bookworm. So you can get what happens. Matilda ends up in a war with the Trunchbull. The movie is way more emotionally intense but the book does a great job too and the ending is still pretty satisfying. I loved the characters of Matilda and Miss Honey and I thought Matilda's family was believably awful because we've all met oafish jerks like that. Roald Dahl is a great children's author but this has always been one of my favorite books of his, partially because it's more believable and partially because it features a girl protagonist who is allowed to be strong and victorious, and not beaten down, which makes the story feel both timeless and incredibly progressive, all at the same time. Matilda notices that Miss Honey is very poor and asks her why she cannot afford a nicer home or proper furniture. Miss Honey tells her that she was raised by a very mean aunt who took her father’s home and keeps almost all of Miss Honey’s money when she gets paid by the school. This makes Matilda upset, since Miss Honey has been so nice to her, and Matilda does not like bullies. Miss Honey then reveals that her aunt is Miss Trunchbull.

Books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone. She is such an inspiration - and not only because of the freaky telekinetics.
