(T) Tween Snack n' Chat: Matilda by Roald Dahl

Ages 9-12.  For July, Tween Snack n' Chat is discussing Matilda by Roald Dahl. We will discuss the book, enjoy a snack and complete a fun book-related craft.  We have a limited number of free library copies. 

Armed with sarcasm, smarts, and a touch of telekinesis, Matilda turns the tables on the grown-ups who underestimate her. It's a mischievous, clever romp where brains beat bullies, and knowledge and kindness are more valuable than wealth or power.
