Publisher's Note For hundreds of kids, "The Trunchbull" is pure terror. For Matilda, she's a sitting duck. Roald Dahl is one of the most beloved storytellers of all time, and his books have been children's favorites for generations. Puffin is proud to offer a strong new look for nine of our classic Roald Dahl titles. The distinctive cover treatment, with new art by Quentin Blake, will make these books easily recognizable. In addition, Quentin Blake's funny, quirky illustrations now appear in all of the books. So turn the page and you'll be sure to have a "Dahl-ectable" summer!
Industry Reviews "A tour de force that kids will undoubtedly love."
"Funny, witty, fresh...Dahl at his outrageous best!" Perkins
