Laura Parra 2º Bachillerato EFL

This is the story of a bright sweet little girl who is very anxious to go to school and read books, even though her parents refuse to allow any books in the house. Instead, they want Matilda and her older brother to watch television. As Matilda is ignored at home she escapes into a world of reading and exercising her mind. That is how she develops telekinesis, which leads to funny situations when she goes to school.

I found the level of the book a bit too easy for me. I would recommend it for people who have little English.
