Premium Review Wish-fulfilment for kids! (809 words)

Published in 1988, "Matilda" is, in my view, definitely one of Roald Dahl's better children's books. It looks like I'm not alone in that view, as the novel won the Children's Book Award in 1988 and was voted the nation's favourite children's book in a BBC Bookworm Poll in 1998.

The only person that seems to care for her is her teacher at school. Matillda enjoys reading and does alot of it. Her teacher finds out that she is really intelligent and moves her up a couple of grades. Mean while matillda fins out she has magical powers and she can make objects float and fly around the room. With these ...
