When she gets really mad, strange things happen. She discovers she has magical powers and decides to use them to stand up to the grown-ups.

Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the nastiest, smelliest, most horrible people ever. They hate each other and love playing cruel tricks - like putting worms in spaghetti and making each other think they're shrinking. They also keep a family of monkeys in cages and use them for upside-down circus tricks. But the monkeys and the birds get tired of the Twits' meanness. So they team up to play the ultimate trick on Mr. and Mrs. Twit. It's a gross, funny, wild story about how mean people get what they deserve. Classic Roald Dahl - silly, disgusting, and full of payback for bullies.
