“You don’t know how long I’ve been wishing for this day to come,” Matilda told Ms Honey happily, giving her hug around the waist. Matilda sighed dreamily as they climbed the steps up onto the front porch that joined on to the large, pretty white house that Ms Trunchbull no longer owned. …….Matilda and Ms Honey stood in front of the neatly-trimmed hedge, waving, as they watched the Wormwoods roar away down the street in a cloud of dust, screeching as they turned tightly around the corner, never to be seen again. Yes, yes, ok- or in bed with a mug of hot chocolate if you like, (whatever you choose), and be prepared to be astonished throughout the next few pages of what REALLY happened after the so-called ‘happy ending’ of Matilda……. …….Yes, I knew it! Of course you do! So sit back down in the comfiest chair you can find…….what? If you like the way it ends with Matilda being adopted by Ms Honey, the Wormwoods leaving the country for good and Ms Trunchbull vanishing out of town never to terrorise the school again, then please- be my guest to leave.īut aren’t you curious about what REALLY happened to Ms Trunchbull? Or if Matilda and Ms Honey REALLY live happily ever after? Or what REALLY happened to the Wormwoods after they fled from the police? I’m not forcing you to read what happens afterwards. ….Yes, I know everything ended up fine and dandy, but there’s still more to the story!
