INCOMPLETE; UNEDITED Hortensia Buckets is an eleven-year-old attending Crunchem Hall, and it's safe to say she hates it. After her latest encounter with the Trunchbull, she is left with a smoldering spark in her chest. She wants to fight back, but she can't do it alone. The little troublemaker has her own fears and anxiety, and it's not something she can do alone. She'll need the help of the entire school to fight against the Trunchbull-- her greatest bully, her abuser. "There's no escaping tragedy." Matilda Wormwood is a five-year-old genius. Able to read, speak, and do computations beyond what even most middle-schoolers can do, she is a natural prodigy few can recognize. Her own parents are the most blind to her talent, only seeing her as a heavy burden and a useless little thing, neglecting her greatly. When she steps foot into Crunchem Hall, she knows what has to be done. "Sometimes, you have to be a little bit naughty." Miss Honey is the teacher of the lowest form, hiding her secret between her and the Trunchbull from everyone. She recognizes talent when she sees it, and she can see the spark in Matilda's eyes. Even if the Trunchbull and her rotten parents won't see it, Miss Honey will see to it that Matilda gets the attention she deserves. "It's not a lot, but it's enough for me." When Matilda and Hortensia recognize each other's burning desire to fight back, the two agree to start a rebellion. To fight back. But a few obstacles stand in their way. ______________________________________________________________ This book is based off of both the book Matilda by Roald Dahl and the 2022 Matilda the Musical. I own only the plot and some of the OCs. Many of the scenes and songs are borrowed from the book and movie. A majority of the characters and other elements of the story all belong to the musical and book; I own very little of anything. TW/CW for mentions of neglect, abuse, blood, and other harsh topics.
