Matilda

De: Roald Dahl

Narrado por: Kate Winslet

The classic story from Roald Dahl, about an exceptional young girl with extraordinary powers. Adapted into a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and a Netflix film!

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 menacing, kid-hating 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!

Here is Roald Dahl's original novel of a little girl with extraordinary powers. This much-loved story has recently been made into a wonderful new musical, adapted by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.

Great fun

I took a break from my normal listening to enjoy Matilda. It was a fun diversion and I would definitely recommend it to others, I liked how Ms. Winslet read and Dahl is always a pleasure.

Our new favorite read aloud

Do not delay, get this read-aloud immediately. Of course Roald Dahl’s work is brilliant on its own— but it is even better read by Winslet. This is absolutely fantastic!!! It is riveting, Kate’s reading is absolute brilliance — each character unique and with such fun character choices made! Buy it. You won’t regret it.

Incredible

I never read this as a child! Some parts are quite shocking for a children's book, but not inappropriately so... Probably. So hilarious, irreverent, but serious, artistic, and lovable in every way.

Ms. Trunchbull is too loud

I love this story and the way it’s read.. all except for how loud Ms. Trunchbull is when she talks. I understand that this is the way she speaks but when listening in my car i would turn it down on her parts only to have to turn it way up on other parts considering they were MUCH quieter. Other than that, I loved this book.
