An overlooked girl discovers an extraordinary power

Matilda brings together a child’s keen intelligence and sensitivity with a home life in which her parents dismiss her as a nuisance. At school, the threat posed by headmistress Miss Trunchbull becomes the catalyst for Matilda’s discovery of an unusual ability. The premise sets a sharp contrast between adults who underestimate or mistreat a child and the resourcefulness she can bring to bear. Fantasy elements are woven into a story about family, school authority, and a young protagonist finding a way to answer injustice.
