MatildaMatilda Wormwood's father thinks she's a little scab. Matilda's mother spends all afternoon playing bingo. And Matilda's headmistress, Miss Trunchbull? Well, she's the worst of all.

So all these grown-ups had better watch out, because Matilda is going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget. |
