Molly is an orphan, dumped in a ‘Moon’s Marshmallows’ box upon the hard doorstep of Hardwick House, an orphanage in the sleepy town of Briersville.For ten crucial years ,Molly has braved Miss Adderstone, the malicious, forbidding mistress of the orphanage. Molly’s boring, dull life changes overnight when she has a fight with her best friend, Rocky Scarlet and slips into the local library, escaping from the school cross-country race and humiliation from her classmates and the children from the orphanage. In the ‘Y’ section of the library, she finds a book called Yponotism. Ypnotism? I mean Hypnotism. She steals the book from the library and takes it home to the orphanage. She reads the book and perfects the art of Hypnotism on Petula, Miss Adderstone’s spoilt pet pug, Miss Adderstone herself, and Edna, the orphanage’s brutal, long suffering cook and cleaner. Then, she wins the Briersville Talent Compition and goes to New York, with Petula, to find Rocky, who had been adopted by some Americans who live in New York. She finds work as the star of ‘Stars on Mars’ pushing Davina Nuttel out of the role by her hypnotic powers. It’s very exciting and amazing when she uses a giant magnifiing glass in the show so she can easily hypnotize the audience.
A sinister Mr. Nockman steals Petula as a hostage so that he can blackmail Molly into robbing a bank for him. Molly finds Rocky and together…..What will Molly and Rocky be able to do? Will Petula ever be on Molly’s lap again? Well, to find out, read Molly Moon’s Incredible Book Of Hypnotism by Georgia Byng.
Before reading this book, I thought that Molly Moon was like Harry Potter, but it’s good that it isn’t ,as it’s a nice change from wizardry and magic. Reading a Molly Moon book is like stepping into an extraordinary world in which everything is possible. This book and all the other four books in the series are astonishing and highly believable .I can’t match any other character to Molly, Rocky, and Petula the Pug.
