Matilda

Tiny and innocent, Matilda is the child of Harry and Zinnia Wormwood, who have no respect for their daughter. Having just entered her first year of school, Matilda makes friends in Miss Honey's class and quickly amazes her teacher with reading and math skills she has not yet been formally taught. Her intelligence amazes Miss Honey. Enter Headmistress Miss Trunchbull, who despises and mistreats the school's children with torture and violence that no one has the courage to challenge. Faced with hideous parents, the young girl plays three pranks to punish their terrible behavior. Then, when Miss Trunchbull presses the tiny girl's limits, Matilda discovers she has the power to move objects by sheer will and a force she cannot understand. What follows is a joyful and humorous experience for the listener.
