Matilda Summary
By Roald Dahl

Written by Cailin Hinds

Matilda was a very young girl but quite smart for a 5 year old and her parents did not appreciate her, if fact, they were totally mean to her. She soon started school and her teacher was very surprised by her skills. Matilda enjoyed spending quality time with her teacher, Ms. Honey, because she understood her. Aside from Ms. Honey, Matilda’s best friend so far was Lavender.

One afternoon a tall girl called Hortensia, told them about how cruel Ms.Trunchbull was, and something she used to punish kids called The Choky. Hortensia also told them the pranks she pulled on Ms. Trunchbull.

One afternoon Lavender thought to herself that she should also pull a prank on Ms.Trunchbull. When Lavender got home she ran to a little pond she had in her backyard, and pulled out a newt and placed it in her pencil bag. In the morning, when she had to get Ms.Trunchbull’s water jug, she placed the newt in the water. When she wanted water, plop, the newt fell in her glass. Ms.Trunchbull blamed it on Matilda. Matilda got so furious that her eyes were red. She realized that she had super powers and she knocked the glass over.

One day Ms.Honey invited Matilda over for tea and to talk. Ms. Honey told Matilda about her life and also mentioned that the Trunchbull was her aunt. She told her that when her dad died he left a piece of paper noticing that Jenny Honey had to live with her aunt. Matilda already had a scheme going on in her brain.

Next Thursday, when Ms. Trunchbull had to go to Matilda’s class, Matilda used her powers. She took the chalk and wrote that she should leave Mrs. Honey’s house and let her live in it. Trunchbull got so scared she just vanished.

One afternoon when Mrs.Honey invited Matilda over again and she had to go back to her house, her parents where putting luggage in their car. Matilda asked where they were going and her dad told her that they were moving to Spain for his job. Matilda and Ms. Honey both begged for her not have to leave with them. Matilda’s parents agreed that she could live with Ms. Honey. Matilda and Ms. Honey both adapted to their new house and their new life quickly.
