When I picked this book up for the second (or maybe third) time in my life, but this time as an adult, I only remembered like four facts about the entire book. It felt like I was reading it for the first time but with a healthy dose of unconscious nostalgia added to the mix. I do genuinely think this is a tremendous children’s book that is just so wholesome and full of hope throughout the entire story. Molly is a plucky protagonist that you can’t help but love, and her entire rag-tag group of friends work so well together. The story is simple and at times the story added random plot points a little lackadaisically, but it was so fun and sweet. Very excited to continue my reread of the series.
This is a really great book!I would be surprised if anyone disliked this book!
I read this back when I was in middle school and loved it, I gave it to my little siblings and I hope they like it too.

Really enjoyed this when I was younger but haven't read it for a while.
So cute!!! Molly Moon’s highjinks literally had me rolling with laughter! If you like fun and entertaining middle grade with a hint of high stakes, you’ll like this. I feel like it’s great for fans of Eloise and Home Alone!
So for a kid's book this was actually better than I thought it would be. It is long and drawn out at times, but it had great twists and it's overall message of looking out for people and being kind was great. I read it out loud to my 10 year old and we both loved it.
I didn't love it, but I did really like it, in the end. (But not the middle.)

I know this book is geared to those of a younger age than me, but this is still one of my all time favorite series. Molly moon is living every child’s dream, especially mine. I would read the books and feel that I was the character. Sometimes all of the things she could do I found to be just plain unfair, and I would sometimes feels jealous that somebody could do all of those things, and find a magic hypnotism book. I guess that's what any author would want though, to have their characters acknowledged as real people with real personalities.
Sometimes I found myself wishing I was an orphan, just so I'd have a chance to have an adventure like her. Still, despite my envy, I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished it. In fact-I couldn't really do anything else until I read the ENTIRE series. And when that was over I actually cried slightly at the thought that there were no more molly moon books. I thought it was the absolute perfect combination of magic, adventure, and humor. I thought she was the absolute BEST writer ever. Now I know that she is indeed not the most talented, and that her sentences aren't the best and most perfectly plotted and that Most people my age would laugh at such a book, but still I find myself subconsciously wanting Byng to create another book for me to read and enjoy.
p.s. I actually read the 4th book 1stby accident, the mind machine one; Georgia Byng should really number her books!! Still, although not quite as action packed, this is a good book.
