Summary —
Matilda is a precocious five-year-old who has read Dickens and is a math whiz. Unfortunately, she must contend with nasty Mrs. Trunchbull, her teacher. But once again, Dahl gives his young protagonist “the inventive powers to… revenge [herself] humorously against her oppressor.” (Times Literary Supplement)
