Miss Honey was made principal of Crunchem Hall, which had to add an upper school because children never wanted to leave. And Matilda found, to her great surprise, that life could be fun, and she decided to have as much of it as possible. After all, she was a very smart kid. But the happiest part of the story is that Matilda and Miss Honey each got what they’d always wanted: a loving family.
