| Description: |
For ages 7-12, this book is about Matilda, a little girl who at age five-and-a-half is knocking off double-digit multiplication problems and reading Dickens. Even more remarkably, her classmates love her even though she's a super-nerd and the teacher's pet. But everything is not perfect in Matilda's world. She has two of the most self-centered parents who ever lived. Then there's the nightmare of a school principal, Mrs. Trunchbull. Fortunately for Matilda, she has the inner resources to deal with such annoyances: astonishing intelligence, saintly patience, and an innate predilection for revenge. |
