I so want to read the other books by Roald Dahl...
I would recommend this book to all children that love to read, and to all adults that still remember how it was to be a child between the ages of 5 and 12.
I'm planing to offer this copy to a 10 year old that skipped a class and has just started to learn english.

In the end all ends well, and Matilda ends up living with Miss Honey... (
