She never mentioned it. I wonder if she read it. I will try to get to it. I've never read it.

I'm too old to have read it when I was a child myself (though I adored James and the Giant Peach as a kid -- the first "long" book I read), but I read Matilda to my kids and we all enjoyed it.Joanne R.

I loved her smart and witty character. (I was an adult when this book was written.) I know you don't care for the supernatural, but I kind of see it as a tad of magical realism. You are right, Matilda's cleverness and intelligence would have served her just as well.

I'm glad it is still surfacing in the classroom. Published back in 1988, it just shows a good story will win out every time.Greg Pattridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761872776035591138noreply@blogger.com
