Meet Matilda Wormwood!

Matilda Wormwood is a young girl with telekinesis! (the power to move things using one’s mind). This famous character was built by Roald Dahl, a famous fiction author for children’s books. 

1. Did you know that Matilda started reading books and studying newspapers at the age of 3? Her love for books has grown ever since. 
2. For small girl, Matilda was very independent and always stood for justice. She stood up against her school’s headmistress Miss Trunchbull, a mean and scary principal who punished children for no reason. 
3. Matilda did not have a supportive family–this pushed her to be extremely independent: At the age of around 5, she would walk around town alone to get books from the library and visit her teacher!
