I have mentioned already how Dahl is a huge inspiration to my writing, but this book had a fantastic main character who might have been young, but was brave and smart too. I loved the movie adaption as well which did the book justice. I even went and saw the musical of this one.

I still credit my second grade teacher who let me spend a lot of class time in the library for my continued love of reading and writing. My third grade teacher made me sit on my hands so I wouldn't use my fingers to do math and I still credit her for never caring for math after that. :)<br /><br />Anna Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945983971515869500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-47453179001082004402014-11-14T02:17:30.952-05:002014-11-14T02:17:30.952-05:00Matilda is my favourite Roald Dahl book!

But having a nice teacher who believes in her makes up for all that misery. When I think of bullying female figures, I always imagine it's Miss Trenchbull ... and the scene where she forced the boy to eat the chocolate cake (lol)!
