Explanation:
Is this book dark? Yes. Is it a bit scary? Yes. Is it for everyone? No. However, no book is for everyone, and some reviewers on here are making it sound as if this book is a manifesto for children to be horrid and immoral. It is NOT. Matilda is a little girl who is a genius and has an evil headmistress and horrid parents who if real would be abusive (they leave her alone at home, call her names, set a bad example, etc.). However, Matilda does not let this stop her. A lot of people are saying Matilda only is saved by her powers. In the end, she overcomes a final obstacle by her powers. But, she uses her own cleverness and strength to overcome obstacles before then. She glues her fathers hat to his hair, scares her parents into thinking a talking parrot is a ghost, encourages and supports a classmate who is being bullied by their headmistress, and helps her teacher find strength. Matilda is not a cheery, happy Disney strong, but it is so much better because it helps children learn that, even though the world can be very dark and scary, there can be light by looking to strength inside. Children know magic is not real. Children know there is darkness in the world because they see it even from a young age, but I think this book provides a fun and cool way to teach them about how to find power and strength within themselves. Roald Dahl is known for being quite dark, but I like his writing because it knows how smart and clever children are. That is why I love the fact Matilda is 5 and reading Charles Dickens. Kids today need that
