The most famous bookworm in the world

Matilda is a very special little girl. She is incredibly smart and reads countless books; she is brave and adventurous, and she has a big heart. Any cardboard cutout could see that - but unfortunately, the adults are completely clueless. Leading the charge is the feared headmistress of Matilda's school. Her name is Miss Trunchbull, and she behaves just like that. Only Matilda's class teacher, Miss Honey, recognizes what Matilda is capable of. Unfortunately, Miss Trunchbull has a particular grudge against Miss Honey. What she didn't count on, however, is that Matilda is not just a child prodigy but also a magical child. And she is relentless when it comes to defending her friends. Fearless heroines and heroes full of strength and imagination, empowering children: No matter who you are and where you are, no matter who tries to belittle you - with imagination, determination, and courage, you can take your own crazy story into your own hands and be anything you want. The immortal children's books by Roald Dahl are now available for the first time in a high-quality, color-illustrated hardcover edition, newly translated by Andreas Steinhöfel as well as Sabine and Emma Ludwig.
