The Grade 3 A class comes to the Library every Monday and the following is the novel we are reading each week:
Matilda by Roald Dahl
Matilda is a little girl who is far too good to be true. At age 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.
