Matilda
I was extremely excited each time I picked up this book and eager to read. It was delightful and literally entertaining to the last word of the book.
The tale was about Matilda Wormwood a five years old , who lived with her brother and parents, but the things that set her apart from her family were stronger than the things that bind them closer because she was different from them ultimately.

Matilda was a very special child, she was a super nerd, she read books even those for grown-ups. On the other hand, her parents were neglecting her completely; her needs, habits , unique potentials and her character as a brilliant child as though she didn't exist among them, moreover she was ill-treated by them.
She found a solace in reading books and sharing her thoughts and questions with her teacher Miss Honey whom sustained Matilda a lot.
I am certain that any reader will enjoy this magnificent story, I recommend it to everyone especially for kids
“So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.”
"The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village."
“From then on, Matilda would visit the library only once a week in order to take out new books and return the old ones. Her own small bedroom now became her reading-room and there she would sit and read most afternoons, often with a mug of hot chocolate beside her. She was not quite tall enough to reach things around in the kitchen, but she kept a small box in the outhouse which she brought in and stood on in order to get whatever she wanted. Mostly it was hot chocolate she made, warming the milk in a saucepan on the stove before mixing it. Occasionally she made Bovril or Ovaltine. It was pleasant to take a hot drink up to her room and have it beside her as she sat in her silent room reading in the empty house in the afternoons.
