One of the hallmarks of Roald Dahl's writing style is its simplicity. His prose is clear, concise, and utterly engaging. Dahl masterfully crafts stories that are accessible to readers of all ages without sacrificing depth or emotional resonance.
 
Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a kid-hating terror of a headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!
