alyssabeth 's review for:

4.0

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.
