Product Description
Matilda loves science and inventing. Her heroes are Marie Curie, Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison, and one day she wants to be a famous inventor herself. So when she doesn’t win the school science fair, she’s devastated – especially as the judges didn’t believe she''d come up with her entry on her own. Because she''s a girl.
When Matilda shares her woes with her Grandma Joss, she''s astonished to learn her grandma was once a scientist herself – an astrophysicist, who discovered her very own planet. Trouble is, Grandma Joss was also overlooked – her boss, Professor Smocks, stole her discovery for himself. And he''s about to be presented with a Nobel Prize.
Matilda concocts a plan. They''ll crash the award ceremony and tell everyone the truth! So begins a race against time - and against Matilda''s strict mum and dad! - on a journey through Paris, Hamburg and Stockholm, and on which they encounter a famous film star, a circus, and a wanted diamond thief...
