2. Summary Right from the start, Matilda was ignored. When her dad went off to sell second hand cars, her mom went to go play bingo, and her brother went to school, Matilda was left to do things on her own. However, this was not a problem for Matilda Wormwood! By age two, she had taught herself to read. Most parents would notice early on if their child had extraordinary skills. Not Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood. To them she was just a little twit. When Matilda was 5 ½, she started school. Not that her parents cared she started school in the middle of the year. Not that the principal – Miss Trunchbull - cared either. She’s just the cold hearted woman that cared not the slightest bit about the children in her school. She’s also the one that throws innocent children out the window. Will Matilda be able to stop her and save the school?
