Matilda

Matilda is a little girl who is far too good to be true. At five-and-a-half years old, she knows how to add and subtract double digits, reads books by Dickens, and is the most popular girl at her school. However, she has two of the most self-centered parents ever and her school principal, Miss Trunchbull, throws children around like they are toys. But Matilda has inner resources to deal with such annoyances: Her astonishing intelligence helps her deal with these situations. She even gets back at her parents for their neglect by playing practical jokes on them.
