Matilda

The world's most famous bookworm, Matilda, is a very special little girl. She is incredibly smart and reads countless books; she is brave and adventurous, and she has a big heart. Any cardboard cutout could recognize this – but unfortunately, the adults are completely clueless. Leading the charge is the feared headmistress of Matilda's school, known as Miss Trunchbull, who behaves just as her name suggests. Only Matilda's class teacher, Jennifer Honey, sees the potential within Matilda. Unfortunately, Miss Trunchbull has set her sights particularly on Jenny Honey. What she didn't expect, however, is that Matilda is not only a prodigy but also a magical child. And she is relentless when it comes to defending her friends. Fearless heroines and heroes full of strength and imagination empower children: No matter who you are or where you are, no matter who tries to belittle you – with imagination, determination, and courage, you can take your own crazy story into your hands and be anything you want.
