Matilda - Ronald Dahl

Matilda is a brilliant child with a magical mind.

But her parents have decided she's just a nuisance who wastes too much time on reading and stories.

And her headmistress Miss Trunchbull is a terrible bully, who thinks children are rotten and awful and should be locked up.

Now it's time for Matilda to find the power to change her story, and show them just how extraordinary children can be . . .

I would have loved this book as a child! I was in my 30s the first time I read it, and I was sad I didn't read it as a child. So when I saw this promt, I knew this was the book I had to read for it. And I still enjoyed it tremendously.
