Program Description
This is a monthly book club for upper elementary students! This month, we will meet in person for a pizza party, followed by a lighthearted book discussion. Recommended for grades 3-5.
Join us as we read and discuss Matilda by Roald Dahl.
Summary:
"Matilda is a little girl who is far too good to be true. At five-and-a-half, she's knocking off double-digit multiplication problems and blitz-reading Dickens. Even more remarkably, her classmates love her even though she's a super-nerd and the teacher's pet. But everything is not perfect in Matilda's world...
For starters, she has two of the most idiotic, self-centered parents who ever lived. Then there's the large, busty nightmare of a school principal, Miss ("The") Trunchbull, a former hammer-throwing champion who flings children at will and is approximately as sympathetic as a bulldozer. Fortunately for Matilda, she has the inner resources to deal with such annoyances: astonishing intelligence, saintly patience, and an innate predilection for revenge."
