Story4.5 out of 5 stars 36
In all the years that Elinora Gassbeek has been matron of the Little Tulip Orphanage, not once have the Rules for Baby Abandonment been broken. Until the autumn of 1886, when five babies are left in outrageous circumstances: one in a tin toolbox, one in a coal bucket, one in a picnic hamper, one in a wheat sack and finally, one in a coffin-shaped basket.

Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a menacing, kid-hating headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!

Amazing story! A little loud, however.

This was an amazing book! I love the storyline and the narration. The only reason this book did not get a five star review it’s because of the noise level in the story. I like to use Audible as a fun thing to listen to at night while I’m getting ready to go to bed. Sometimes I’ll lay in bed and put on the sleep timer and go to sleep to an audiobook. Naturally when I got this book I decided to try that as well. This was an incredibly good book and I felt like the narration was rather normal in volume. The only error came when hortensia, miss trenchbull, and in that one scene where there was music playing before a chapter began. Those were very loud scenes and I tried to turn the volume down. When I attended this the store became too quiet after the characters to start speaking. But. If noise doesn’t bother you, this is an excellent book!
