Matilda is my favourite character as she’s a very sassy young miss

Willy Wonka because he owns a child's dream factory and he is so funny in the film and the stories

Mammaof4 Wed 19-Sept-18 13:10:55

Mrs Trunchball because I feel about sorry for her and she really does remind me of someone I know ☺

Lydia30 Wed 19-Sept-18 13:20:58

The BFG as he's the type of friend we all need

Primrose2 Wed 19-Sept-18 13:44:13

Unfortunately I didn't have access to these books as a child, but am so looking forward to reading them with my grandson and I am sure that we will love them all.

I love Matilda as it's about a courageous young girl who loves books. It's such a warm, funny read with such memorable characters - who could forget Miss Honey or Bruce Bogtrotter or the horrendous Miss Trunchbull! Such a fantastic read for all ages.

Miss Trunchbull as she reminded me of my headmistress who scared the life out of me at school.

barboofa Wed 19-Sept-18 16:03:26
