Love it! This Molly Moon book is a lot shorter than the rest, and it's a good introduction to her world if you're not ready to commit to the longer books in the series. Molly is a British orphan living in New York with her pet pug. She has the ability to hypnotize people and has used it to move to the states and work in theater. In this little story Molly has injured one of her eyes, which makes it difficult to hypnotize with her eyes like usual (though she does have a couple other tricks). She planned on resting, but while out on a walk with her dog she sees a homeless man being mistreated by a rich passerby. Molly uses her abilities to help the homeless guy out, but things don't really turn out as intended due to the domino effect. The overall message, however, is to dare to put yourself out there. Fake it till you make it, dare to push the first domino down and keep yourself open to opportunities instead of fearing failure. It was snappy and humorous. Molly is very likable heroine trying to do right, and she's living it up like any kid would dream to.

It's an oldish series, but apparently a movie has been made! No release dates yet, though.

Molly moon se daña un ojo y no puede hipnotizar ve a un hombre timando a otro y usa un péndulo para que haga lo que ella quiera pero algo raro sucede

I feel like this book should be 1.5 in the series not 2.5.

Ha sido estupendo poder volver a leer sobre las cosas que le pasan a Molly Moon.
Los libros de Molly Moon son parte de mi infancia y al ver que existía un libro tan corto sobre una historia más de Molly quise tenerlo y leerlo.
Me ha gustado mucho porque conozco muy bien los personajes de Molly y su perrita Pétula y ha sido divertido y muy bonito ver cómo ayudaban a alguien en este libro.
