Molly Moon by first time author Georgia Byng was published in the USA last week (May 2003), but the book has already taken the UK by storm, foreign rights have been sold to 24 countries and the movie rights have been bought by David Heyman (producer of Harry Potter).
So, what's all the fuss about?
What it's about is a ripping good yarn which some compare to Roald Dahl, Lemony Snicket or J.K. Rowling. Although ostensibly for 8-12 year olds, I thoughly enjoyed it, and read it in one evening - and am now reading it to our two children aged 7 and 9.
So, parents, aunts, uncles, godparents, grandparents - if I were you I'd hot foot it to your bookstore or library and pick up a copy today, and present it, post haste, to the children in your life.
As always, don't take my word for it - click on the excerpt link at the top of the page to read chapter one and decide for yourself.

I got this book from my school library. I was amazed. At first Iwas only reading it because I thought it looked weird but OMG! Was it awesome or not? I love reading!

Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism has a great plot, theme and all around make up. Georgia Byng has an interesting Story made up with two friends living in an orphanage. When one friend leaves to go with his new family, Molly is left alone. She spends most of her time in the library where she finds a mysterious book. She has many adventure using this book including winning a part in a movie and even robbing a bank! The overall plotline and theme are well written but the point of view is a little bit off. Overall a must read for children 11 and up.
