This is by Roald Dahl. It's about your classic oppressed kid who's brought down by a dictatorial headmisstress at school, and an apathetic and pathetic family at home. The only thing she can do to feel better is read. Like all of his books this is hard to put down and you're constantly cursing Matilda's oppressors and cheering her on. You can almost hear the school kids shouting, "We don't need no education". 5 of 5.
