Summary:
Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a kid-hating terror of a headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!

Annotation:
For the majority of the novel, the author uses a third-person and omniscient point of view to tell the story. The narrator focuses mainly on Matilda and her thoughts and feelings, but frequently includes the perspective of other characters as well. Matilda has special power, her ability to move objects with her mind, and her gifted intelligence.]]> 2022-10-09 07:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/acanete7/2fs33ghzf2yem3ca/wish/2332301896 Bridge to Terabithia acanete7 https://padlet.com/acanete7/2fs33ghzf2yem3ca/wish/2359799379 Summary:
