Description
Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl with questionable characters for parents. Things are no better at school, where Matilda must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum,” or “Children are Maggots.” Matilda finds refuge in library books and in creating her own stories, and companionship in her teacher, the well-intentioned, though shy and fragile, Miss Honey. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world, and in doing so, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson -- that even though life can be hard, “nobody but me is gonna change my story”, so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.”
