Roald Dahl work tells the story of Matilda Wormwood, a gifted girl forced to put up with a crude, distant father and mother. Worse, Agatha Trunchbull, the evil principal at Matilda's school, is a terrifyingly strict bully. However, when Matilda realizes she has the power of telekinesis, she begins to defend her friends from Trunchbull's wrath and fight back against her unkind parents. Reason of recommendation: Matilda reminded kids everywhere that they had power, and that they could utilize it simply by picking up a book and learning things from it. For a voracious reader, that's already inspiring —but for the young girl who stays up late watching TV, it might just remind them that there's a lot hidden in the books on her shelf. G4B BOOKLIST

Matilda's parents have given their daughter ugly nicknames but to be honest, Matilda is a little genius girl. It remains to be seen, Matilda can rise above her parents, and show the principal that she has exceptional talent and power.
