Description
Matilda by Roald Dahl is a timeless children’s classic about an extraordinary little girl with an exceptional mind and a rebellious spirit. From an early age, Matilda Wormwood displays remarkable intelligence — reading Dickens by five, solving complex maths problems in her head, and teaching herself everything her indifferent, small-minded parents refuse to. But while Matilda’s talents should be celebrated, she instead faces scorn at home and cruelty at school under the tyrannical rule of headmistress Miss Trunchbull.
In true Roald Dahl fashion, this charming tale balances humour, heart, and a dash of mischief. Matilda’s friendship with her gentle, kind-hearted teacher Miss Honey becomes a lifeline in a world of bullies and injustice. As Matilda discovers a unique, surprising power within herself, she begins to turn the tables on the cruel adults around her in the most delightful ways.
Illustrated by Quentin Blake and beloved by generations, Matilda is a joyful, empowering story about courage, kindness, and the importance of standing up for what’s right — perfect for young readers and nostalgic adults alike.
