About
Matilda Wormwood is a brilliant little girl with a big imagination and a family that completely misunderstands her. While her crooked car-salesman father and loud, uncaring mother ignore her talents, Matilda finds comfort in books and learning. By the time she’s six, she’s read more classics than most adults and has developed a sharp wit to match. But her genius doesn’t stop there. Matilda soon discovers she has something truly special: telekinetic powers that let her move things with her mind.
When she starts school at Crunchem Hall, Matilda meets the kind-hearted teacher Miss Honey, who recognizes her extraordinary intelligence and gentle spirit. But the school’s headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, is the complete opposite, a terrifying, cruel woman who rules through fear and punishment. As Matilda learns to control her powers, she decides to stand up against the unfairness around her, using her cleverness and magic to bring a little justice and a lot of chaos to those who deserve it.
Between dodging flying chalk, rescuing her classmates, and helping Miss Honey uncover long-buried secrets, Matilda learns that courage and kindness can be stronger than fear. With her friends by her side and her mind as her greatest weapon, she turns her world upside down literally.
Matilda is a heart-warming and funny story about intelligence, bravery, and believing in yourself. Filled with imagination, humor, and a little mischief, it shows that even the smallest person can make a huge difference when they decide to stand up for what’s right.
