She is a 5 years old girl who loves to read but has a horrible family and worse headmistress. Matilda soon discovers that she is special and can make objects move only with her eyes. This book is not the tale of good vs evil as it includes creativeness, imagination, and inventiveness. The story is engaging and motivates children to read it till the end.

She warns him to be wary of witches but when they go to England they stumble upon a witch convention. English witches are the evilest of all as they are horrible hags disguised as normal women who plot to kill England’s children by converting them into mice. You might be thinking that this story is evil and scary. But this is not true as the Witches are the funniest and most entertaining in the whole plot.
3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of the famous books and so is the movie. This book is about a poor boy who lived in a miserable situation with his family.
