Step into the enchanting world of Matilda, the beloved classic by master storyteller Roald Dahl. This special paperback edition invites young readers in Malta and Gozo to meet Matilda Wormwood, a truly extraordinary and brilliant child with a mind full of magic and an insatiable love for books.

However, Matilda possesses a secret power – a magical ability that she soon discovers can be used to stand up against injustice and protect her friends and herself.
