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. Chief among them is the feared headmistress of Matilda's school. Her name is Miss Trunchbull, and she behaves accordingly. Only Matilda's class teacher, Miss Honey, recognizes what Matilda is capable of. Unfortunately, Miss Trunchbull has taken a particular dislike to Miss Honey. What she didn't expect, however, is that Matilda is not only 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 that empower children: No matter who you are or where you are, no matter who tries to belittle you – with imagination, determination, and courage, you can take your own crazy story into your hands and be anything you want.
