Molly Moon Stops the World
Molly Moon Series, No. 2
By Georgia Byng


      Molly Moon is BACK and boy does she have her hands full. With the renovating of the orphanage, to the sudden shock of Lucy the Librarian’s nearly fatal car accident that has scarred her for life, Molly begins to reel from the amount of insanity that is going on in the world. Lucy, of course, brings this on when she confesses to Molly that her accident was no accident and that she was lucky she didn’t die like she was supposed to.

       After handing in her notice and resigning her post as Brierville’s librarian, Lucy had gone on an investigation that nearly took her life. Now it’s up to Molly and the gang to figure out what this multi-multi-billionaire, Primo Cell, is really up to. Is he really using hypnotism to make millions and millions of dollars a day at the cost of other people’s careers and lives? And what does all this have to do with the abduction of Molly’s Broadway rival, Davina Nuttel?

        Hallelujah! There is a God! I couldn’t WAIT to get my hands on this sequel to Molly Moon’s Incredible Book of Hypnotism. Trust me! It is WELL worth the wait. With her witty dialogue and unparalleled imagination, Byng has created one of the most loveable little girls since the days of Shirley Temple. Along with Petula the Pug and her best friend Rocky, Molly gives the reader the once-in-a-lifetime chance to see just how strange and downright odd the world is through a child’s hypnotic eyes. Byng’s witty innocent writing style will have her readers hypnotized by the end of the first sentence. I recommend this to ANYONE who loves humor mixed with zany, comedy-filled adventure. And be sure to read the first book, Molly Moon’s Incredible Book of Hypnotism, too.
