Matilda Wormwood was your younger sister, often overlooked and ridiculed by the rest of her family. She's incredibly smart and at only 6 years old, she's reading Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.

You and your brother, Micheal, are your parents favourites. Mrs Wormwood had you as her favorite and Micheal was Mr Wormwood's.

She did still love her family, but she also hated them.

You can be smart in your own way, but you chose looks over books last year and since then, you've been your mother's favorite.
