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.

Even better than before- Kate Winslet was perfect!

This book makes you think about growing up, parenting, and everything in between. It made me grateful for my parents and made me want to constantly have a book in my hands.

Any additional comments?

Kate Winslet's narration was the most perfect thing ever. Even if you've already read this book, get her audio. It's a magical thing.

This is feel-good.

I was smiling frequently throughout. Childrens story. The characters are one dimensional and greatly exaggerated. And they are fun, fascinating, laughable. I loved these characters. The happy ending was good.

The narrator Kate Winslet was fabulous. I loved the way she interpreted characters.

Genre: children’s fiction
