Matilda is the world's most famous bookworm, no thanks to her ghastly
parents. Her father thinks she's a little scab. Her mother spends all
afternoon playing bingo. And her headmistress, Miss Trunchbull? She's
the worst of all. She's a big bully, who thinks all her pupils are
rotten and locks them in the dreaded Chokey. Despite these beastly
grownups trying to push her down, Matilda is an extraordinary girl with
a magical mind. And she's had enough. So all the terrible adults had
better watch out, because she's going to teach them a lesson they'll
never forget! This translation into Scots is a timely addition to the
growing number of high quality books available to children and young
people to read in the wonderfully rich and expressive Scots language.
