Y3: The Matilda Effect

By Ellie Irving

Matilda loves science and she’s desperate to be an inventor one day. So she’s astonished to learn that her grandma was once a scientist herself. Not only that – Granny Joss discovered her very own planet!

The trouble is no one believed Granny Joss. Her boss stole the discovery for himself. And he’s about to be presented with the biggest, most famous award in science: the Nobel Prize.

Matilda is determined to tell everyone the truth… but can she and Granny Joss get to the award ceremony in time?

Avin: “I am enjoying this book so far. I like that Matilda wants to stick up for women scientists just like her Granny.”

 David: “This book is interesting. I can’t believe that Granny Joss’ idea was stolen. I can’t wait to find out if Matilda helps her Granny.”

 Lamayah: “This book is about Matilda who loves to invent things. It was sad that she lost to a boy that did not invent anything at her school’s science fair.”
