Read about another entry on the list.Matilda (Matilda, by Roald Dahl)
It’s not the size of the prank that matters; it’s the conviction. Young Matilda’s tricks are of the righteous variety, and thus, supergluing her father’s hat to his head is a noble enterprise. Of course, possessing telekinesis makes it a lot easier to pull things over on both her awful parents and her psychotic, murderous headmistress Miss Trunchbull. If only we were all so endowed.
Matilda appears among Chrissie Gruebel's top ten actually insane children’s book characters, Jeremy Strong's ten funniest fictional families, James Dawson's top ten books to get you through high school, and Christopher Timothy's six best books.
