Description

The classic story from Roald Dahl, about an exceptional young girl with extraordinary powers. Adapted into a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and a Netflix film!

Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a menacing, kid-hating headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!

Here is Roald Dahl's original novel of a little girl with extraordinary powers. This much-loved story has recently been made into a wonderful new musical, adapted by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.

    I listened to this book, and I recommend it, but I expected more of Matilda’s adventures and I really love the part where Matilda teaches the trunchbull a lesson! ❤️

    Totally recommend this book. For adults and kids. Doesn’t matter if you have seen the movie. It has some parts that were not included in the movie and the character descriptions didn’t match the ones in the movie. In conclusion, it’s just 1000 times better than the movie.
  • Playful and well written

    This book has a lot of wacky and funny things and it is better because I am just a 10 year old boy (that’s really really weird).
