About this eBook
Roald Dahl's much-loved Matilda, now with Quentin Blake's original illustrations in full colour.
Matilda 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. She is a big bully, who thinks all her pupils are rotten and locks them in the dreaded Chokey. As for Matilda, she's an extraordinary little girl with a magical mind - and now she's had enough. So all these grown-ups had better watch out, because Matilda is going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget.
Matilda is also a phenomenally successful, award-winning London stage musical, adapted for the stage by Dennis Kelly with music by Tim Minchin.
'A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero' - David Walliams
Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! inspired by the revolting Twits.

Matilda is not just a Book its a feeling. There is a large number of peoples who grew up hearing her name. She's an iconic figure and also a Great Creation of Roald Dahl.

I tell you this will fill your soul with happiness and kindness, Because it's story is in a magical way. I love Matilda and i hope that you'll say the same too after you see her movie.😘😘😘😘😘

Of course, excellent book! Putting ridiculous grownups in their place and finding your inner magic. Dahl is the hero of all children! This colour illustration version by Blake is the cherry and squirty cream on top.
