Another awesome one by Dahl!!
I read this is grade five, decided to re-read it after my nephews told me how much he enjoyed the book. I agree, a wonderful story of a smart little girl, with awful parents, a nice teacher and a horrible principle!

I think this one is one of my favorites by Dahl, highly recommend it to others.
