Roald Dahl, Illustrated by Quentin Blake

The Vicar of Nibbleswicke

Paperback (Scholastic Inc. Aug. 16, 1996) , 1st edition
The new vicar of Nibbleswicke possesses a speech impediment that leads to holy hysteria in an otherwise quiet country paris. The Magic Finger: To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. To the girl who lives next door, it's just plain terrible. She tries to be polite. She tries to talk them out of it, but the Greggs go too far, and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them. Matilda: For most kids, The Trunchbull is pure terror, but for Matilda, she's a sitting duck. Who put superglue in Dad's hat? Was it really a ghost that made Mom tear out of the house? Matilda is a genius with idiot parents—and she's having a great time driving them crazy. But at school things are different. At school there's Miss Trunchbull, two hundred menacing pounds of kid-hating headmistress. Get rid of The Trunchbull and Matilda would be a hero. But that would take a superhuman genius, wouldn't it?
