A whimsical yet emotionally grounded fantasy about a neglected child who discovers her inner power and finds belonging through kindness and imagination.

Matilda Wormwood is an brilliant and intelligent little girl. Unfortunately, her parents, Harry and Zinnia, fail to see that fact.

As she becomes fed up with the constant cruelty, she discovers she has a special gift that she just might be able to use to outwit the unruly adults around her.
