I am reading this summer

The parents of five-year-old Matilda Wormwood have no interest in their daughter. Although she exhibits strong signs of being a child prodigy, they pressure her to watch television instead of her preferred activity of reading.
She later switches her father's hair tonic with peroxide, changing his hair color. After witnessing Matilda's great intellect in the classroom.The teacher of Matilda is Jenny Honey.Miss Matilda is once threatened by "the Trunchbull" with this punishment, but she is saved by Miss Honey. Trunchbull also tries to exploit students' weaknesses, like forcing an obese child who stole her cake to eat a large, multi-layered chocolate confection in one sitting. To make matters worse for Matilda, Miss Trunchbull has bought a second hand car that barely works from Matilda's father's car company and takes out her rage at Matilda's father on Matilda, while claiming that he was "right" to warn her about the bad conduct of his daughter.Meanwhile, Matilda discovers she has psychokinetic powers, a secret which she confides only to Miss Honey. Jenny was 5 years old when her dad died, and although the police declared the death a suicide, it is implied that Trunchbull killed him. Jenny had become her aunt's slave and did all the household work: cooking, cleaning, ironing.

Meanwhile, Matilda discovers she has psychokinetic powers, a secret which she confides only to Miss Honey. Jenny was 5 years old when her dad died, and although the police declared the death a suicide, it is implied that Trunchbull killed him. Jenny had become her aunt's slave and did all the household work: cooking, cleaning, ironing.With this information, Matilda formulates a plan as to how she can get rid of the Trunchbull for good.When Miss Trunchbull imposes herself on Miss Honey's class and even threatens her, Matilda uses her powers to pose as the spirit of Magnus, scrawling on the blackboard, as if by an invisible hand, a promise of grisly revenge unless Trunchbull relinquishes his daughter's house and inheritance money. Terrified by this seemingly supernatural apparition, Trunchbull collapses and is carried out of the classroom by the other teachers.

The day following the chalkboard incident, Miss Trunchbull disappears, abandoning her brother-in-law's house. Magnus' will is found proving that Miss Honey is the rightful heiress to his property. Miss Honey then moves back into her father's house, and with the Trunchbull gone, Matilda is moved into the top form where she loses all of her powers. Miss Honey believes that Matilda's brain now has to work hard instead of accumulating spare "brainpower" the powers would need: this, the two of them agree, is a good thing, as Matilda would not care to "go through life as a miracle worker".

Meanwhile, the police are alerted to Matilda's father, who has been selling stolen cars. He decides to move the whole family to Spain (Guam in the movie version), but Matilda asks them to let her remain with Miss Honey. They agree, as it is less of a bother, and drive away forever.









My Opinion matilda history is very nice because it shows us that children can be many times more intelligent than adults and that they deserve all the possible and especially love give all the possible apollo so achieve their dreams and never cut the wings....
