Matilda Jr. Synopsis
Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of abusive parents, Matilda finds refuge in library books. Things are not good for Matilda at school either, as she faces a tyrannical and cruel headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum,” or “Children are Maggots.” Matilda finds companionship in her teacher, Miss Honey. Though well-intentioned, Miss Honey is shy and fragile. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world and in doing so, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson: even though life can be hard, “nobody but me is gonna change my story.”
