The film tie-in edition of the original Matilda story.
These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message- you are not alone.
Matilda is a brilliant child with a magical mind.
Her parents have decided she is a waste of space. And her headmistress Miss Trunchball is a terrible bully, who thinks children are rotten and awful and should be locked up.
But it's time for Matilda to find the power to change her story, and show them just how extraordinary children can be . . .
With a foreword from Emma Thompson!
If she’s not busy being the Specialist Non-Fiction and Children’s and Young Adult Boffin, you’ll find Cadence curled up with one of the four books she usually has on the go. Feel free to talk to her about ancient history, middle-grade fiction or fantasy reads!
A children's classic I still remember! Matilda is a brilliant girl who has awful parents, and when she finally goes to school there's the terrible headmistress Trunchbull to contend with! Luckily, the kind Miss Honey helps her find her strength, and with the amazing powers Matilda develops she can help others find their strength too.
