Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism
by Georgia Byng
The book was so good that once I started it I just could not put it down! I also remember seeing this book during my childhood and always wanting to read it. I’m so glad that I finally did! I think what attracted me to this series the most were the cute covers with Petula on them. But why is she blue? I don’t know!
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Molly Moon, Rocky Scarlett & Petula’s New York City adventures. It also had several important lessons that I think anyone could benefit from.
The biggest one being that you could have everything you think you ever wanted in the world and it would not make you happy. That’s exactly how Molly Moon felt after her adventures in stardom. She wanted to return to her old life, exactly as it was before, and have her best friend Rocky, and the other children at the orphanage by her side again.
Even if you think you have a horrible life, there are people out there who have it much worse than you do.
Some people never know kindness and that is why they are horrible people.
You shouldn’t hate anyone for the way they are, you should forgive them as “that’s what they were taught to do.”
Its as Mrs. Trinklebury’s song says:
“Forgive, little birds, that brown cuckoo
For pushing you out of your nests.
It’s what mamma cuckoo taught it to do-
She taught it that pushing is best.”
On the other hand though, some people are just awful. Its just how they are. Its best to focus on enjoying your life in the moment.
Also, I recently learned that this book is also a movie! I definitely want to watch it now, however, as always, the book is probably better. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a cute, magical, hypnotic read! I cannot wait to read the next one!
