Even More Impressively, Her Classmates Adore Her, Despite Her Being A Total Brainiac And The Teacher's Pet. But Matilda’s Life Is Far From Perfect. For One, She’s Stuck With Two Of The Most Ignorant, Self-centered Parents Imaginable. Then, There’s The Terrifying Headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, A Former Hammer-throwing Champion Who Hurls Children Like Missiles And Has About As Much Empathy As A Bulldozer.
