Matilda

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's 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.
