Matilda and the Spare Head
Matilda ir atsarginė galvaThis is a story about a girl who wants to be the smartest person in the world. When all the things she’s learned can no longer fit in one head, her mother buys her a backup one. Two heads are better than one but Matilda soon becomes confused with which head should she wear at what time and loses the second head shortly after. It is uncertain what would happen if not for a ball that accidentally floats in through her window. It changes Matilda forever.
