Hello, Samantha. How are you?

I'm writing to you to talk about a book I read yesterday.

The title of the book is Matilda, and its writer is Roald Dahl.

Let me tell you what happened in the story.

Matilda was a very clever girl, and she spent most of her time in the library before she started school.

She had a lovely teacher, Miss Honey.

But Matilda wasn't very lucky, because her family didn't care about her very much.

What's more, the school principal, Miss Trunchball, hated all children.

Matilda had superpowers, and when she discovered them, she wanted to help her friends and miss Honey.

I really recommend this book to you. I'm sure you'll like it too.

What was the last book you read? Please tell me about it.

Love, Pam.
