Matilda's parents have called her some terrible things - but the truth is she's a genius and they're the stupid ones. Underestimating Matilda proves to be a big mistake as they, along with her horrible headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are soon to discover! Here is Roald Dahl's original novel of a little girl with extraordinary powers. This much-loved story has recently been made into a wonderful new musical, adapted by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.
