Roald Dahl is an author who is known for his unique and fantastical books and Matilda is a popular of one. Matilda takes the word prodigy to the next level- with her incredible mind she was able read and do advanced school work before she was even five. She also has the magical power to levitate and move objects, which thickens the plot. The reader follows her through her interesting family and school life where she just wants to be noticed and cared for.

Matilda is a great book for children who are ready to read chapter books. The magic makes it intriguing and exciting, but the plot allows readers to follow characters and really feel for them.
