Good Condition – light cover and edge wear visible. Spine Fading. Pages Excellent.

Matilda Wormwood is exceptionally intelligent, loves books, and has a remarkable imagination, but her dishonest parents treat her as a nuisance. School offers little relief when she encounters the terrifying headmistress Miss Trunchbull, whose punishments are as cruel as they are outrageous. Fortunately, Matilda also meets the gentle Miss Honey, a teacher who recognises her extraordinary abilities and offers the kindness she has been missing. When Matilda discovers that her talents include a mysterious power, she decides it is time to stand up to the adults who have made life miserable. Roald Dahl’s beloved story celebrates courage, cleverness, reading, and the triumph of a remarkable child over bullying.
