Matilda

"Mr and Mrs Wormwood had an ordinary little boy, Michael, and a daughter, Matilda. But they were so busy with their unimportant business that they did not realize Matilda was clever- very clever."

     Could you read newspaper when you were a child? Matilda is a very smart girl and she has read newspaper since she was three years old. She does everything easily, so she puts adults to shame. However, nobody praises her. One day, she meets a teacher called Ms Honey. She is the only person who understand the girl. At the school, the principal bullies Ms Honey, so the clever girl decides to revenge him. She revenges him well, but sometimes she looks childish as well as other kids. What does she do against him to help the kind teacher?
     This book reflects the author's humor. I have read this book in Japanese and I also enjoy the English version, because some of the phrases are really interesting for me. I recommend his book for you!
