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 kid-hating terror of a 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!
"Matilda will surely go straight to children's hearts." --The New York Times Book Review

What people are saying
"Few people can write childhood, with all its terror and tumult, like Roald Dahl, and he does so while making even a hopeless situation outrageously funny."
Film critic: Variety, The Observer, The Guardian, more. Co-pilot of https://t.co/efqsyLufkM. Beneath this glassy surface, a world of gliding monsters.
Families, meanwhile, have an ideal option in ROALD DAHL'S MATILDA THE MUSICAL, which didn't ring all my bells — I'm fussy with Dahl adaptations — but is bright, big-spirited fun with an uproarious Emma Thompson: https://t.co/PKKjkmZdU5
