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.
