I have finished "Matilda" last week. It was really great that Matilda used her intelligence and super power to help the children in the school from being controlled by the terrible headmistress. She also helped the lovely and friendly teacher, Miss Honey, get back her house. In the end, Matilda left her parents who never really cared about her. Instead, she then lived with Miss Honey. I'm sure that she will have a bright future after this change.
Last Thursday I picked up another book. It's "A Year Down Yonder," written by Richard Peck and published by Puffin Books. Actually, after reading for a while, I found out that it was a sequel to the author's another book "A Long Way from Chicago." Despite so, I think it would be as brilliant as the former one. After all, if the former one was named a Newbery Honor Book, an ALA Notable Book, and an ALA Best Book for young adults, how bad its sequel could be?
I am eager to see what is going to happen when the young city girl is sent to live with her grandmother in the country. I believe it will be very interesting.
