🧠 My thoughts 

I really liked the strong and smart Matilda, she was such a character. The storytelling was intriguing and made me want to know what was next. The ending was very wholesome in my opinion. 

However, although I understood that the book wanted to show the cruelty and abuse that adults usually do to children, those parts were too descriptive to the extent that I felt like this shouldn’t be labeled as a children’s book. 

👍 What I like 

• Strong and smart main character
• Well-written

👎 What I don't like

• Child abuse scenes are too descriptive and graphic
