Matilda

Matilda is a beloved children's book written by Roald Dahl and published in 1988. The novel follows the story of a young girl, Matilda Wormwood, who is an extraordinarily gifted child but is often neglected by her parents and underestimated at school. With the help of her teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda discovers that she has magical powers that allow her to take control of situations and gain respect from those around her.


The novel uses humour to explore themes such as family dynamics, self-empowerment, justice for the oppressed, and fighting against injustice. These are important topics for readers, both young and old, as they deal with issues relevant to today's society, such as gender equality or the prevention of bullying. Through its lighthearted tone yet profound message on these matters, this classic tale has remained timelessly popular among readers everywhere since its release over 30 years ago.
