In her sixth book, Molly Moon is possessed by a magical gold coin that turns her into a narcissistic rock star capable of hypnotizing the world. She returns to her kind self when an evil man takes the coin--and it's up to Molly and her time-traveling relatives to dispose of it before it's too late. This lively adventure set in Japan will please fans.

Molly Moon, eleven-year-old hypnotist and time traveler, has just learned how to morph into other beings. In search of the book that will help her and her twin, Micky, change back into humans, Molly must also stop four evil hypnotist morphers before they take over the world. Byng's fifth book about Molly again features her trademark energy and humor.

While searching for her lost twin brother, Molly, stripped of her hypnotic abilities by a power-hungry child princess, is forced to rely on a new talent: mind-reading. The setting is a post-global warming future populated by genetically engineered half-beasts and children with the minds of mad scientists. Like its predecessors, this Molly Moon adventure is up-tempo and merry.

The heroine of Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism returns in a sprawling adventure. Here Molly's destination is Los Angeles, where she attends the Academy Awards, investigates a kidnapping, discovers she can stop time with her hypnotic powers, and learns the secret of her parentage. Purposefully preposterous, the busy story is filled with larger-than-life characters and comic dialogue.

Living in a bleak orphanage in England, young Molly discovers she has a talent for hypnotism. Her newfound skill leads to fame and fortune in New York City. Though long, this fantasy novel is entertaining and contains humor, larger-than-life characters, and scenes of suspense.
