Matilda

Exceptional girl discovers powers; combats adversity.

If you've ever felt underestimated or out of place, Matilda's tale will resonate with you. Roald Dahl has a way of making the underdog's fight against injustice both whimsical and cathartic. It's a story that champions intellect and kindness over brute strength, and it’s sprinkled with that classic Dahl magic that has charmed readers for generations.

Description

Now a musical on Broadway and streaming on Netflix! 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 menacing, kid-hating 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! Here is Roald Dahl's original novel of a little girl with extraordinary powers. This much-loved story has recently been made into a wonderful new musical, adapted by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.
