Synopsis

Brought to you by Puffin.

This audio edition of Matilda is narrated by Daisy Ridley (Star Wars, Peter Rabbit), and is bursting with fantabulous sound effects.

The much-loved Roald Dahl story, updated for a whole new generation of readers.

These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: you are not alone.

Matilda is a brilliant child with a magical mind.

But her parents have decided she's just a nuisance who wastes too much time on reading and stories.

And her headmistress Miss Trunchbull is a terrible bully, who thinks children are rotten and awful and should be locked up.

Now it's time for Matilda to find the power to change her story, and show them just how extraordinary children can be . . .
