    Some of the key takeaways are that Matilda is an exceptionally intelligent young girl who is misunderstood by her parents. She finds solace in reading books and befriends her teacher, Miss Honey.

    Matilda is extraordinary because she is able to read at a very young age and has a high level of intelligence far beyond her years.

    Matilda got books to read by sneaking books out of the school library and checking books out under fake names from the public library.
