A brilliant story about a determined young girl with big dreams that is sure to mesmerize children and adults alike---prepare to be dazzled! Ages 8+.
Orphan Molly Moon hates living in Hardwick House. For starters, the orphanage is run by hairy-faced Miss Adderstone, who makes Molly clean the toilets with her toothbrush. Mean Hazel Hackersly torments her and to make matters worse, Molly's best friend Rocky has just been adopted and is moving to New York City!
But when Molly stumbles upon a mysterious old book on hypnotism her world is suddenly turned upside down. With a dazzling flash of her bright green eyes, she discovers that she has the amazing power to make people do things – crazy things. There's nothing holding Molly back now, and what better place to begin her adventures than in spectacular New York City as a Broadway superstar?
What Molly doesn't know is that a sinister stranger is following her with dastardly plans of his own...
Bottom-line is it's just a fun-filled, wacky read. The plot's a little sketchy in places, but that really doesn't matter.
