In a nutshell: look into the pages for hypnotising adventure!
Georgia Byng’s story of the young girl who manages to swap a miserable life in an orphanage for the bright lights, fame and fortune of Broadway through her incredible talent for hypnotism has long been a favourite with readers. A larger-than-life story with all the ingredients of the page-turner including wicked villains, likeable heroine and fast-moving, fantastical plotline, it’s surprising that only now, some years after publication, has it been turned into a film. There’s more to Molly Moon than action and adventure however, and the novel cleverly poses questions about belonging, and the need for inner as well as outer transformation. Read the book before or after seeing the film. ~Andrea Reece

Georgia Byng grew up in a large, noisy family in a house outside Winchester, England, near the river Itchen. The nearby country lane with its many cottages was where Georgia Byng first found out about characters, for it was teeming with them, and she used to interview them. Georgia Byng now lives in a house in London full of old and new art, as her husband is the conceptual artist Marc Quinn. Marc keeps all sorts of strange things in the fridge—once he had to keep a Canadian frog in there as it was hibernating and had to be kept cold. They and their family—Tiger, Lucas, and Sky—love to travel, and their favorite destination is India where Georgia can research ideas for her new book or she can be found whizzing around London in her little electric car.
