Matilda

Little Matilda Wormwood is a book lover who just wants to read. She is also whip smart, incredibly patient, and awfully good at telekinesis. Roald Dahl’s self-reliant, self-educated, and self-loving heroine had us cheering (and trying to move objects with our mind) as she pranks her unworthy parents, and ultimately challenges her overbearing headmistress. You go, girl!
