Sinopse:

Este livro trata da vida de Molly Moon. Ela é órfã, desengonçada e mora no sombrio Lar Vida Dura, no interior da Inglaterra, desde que foi achada quando ainda era um bebê. Para piorar, ela é constantemente castigada pela Srta. Viborípedes, a cruel diretora do orfanato, que a faz limpar os banheiros da casa com sua própria escova de dentes. A única esperança de Molly é um velho e curioso livro de hipnotismo que descobriu por acaso na biblioteca da cidade. Ela mergulha nas lições de hipnotismo e logo descobre que possui um incrível poder de mandar as pessoas fazerem qualquer coisa. Em pouco tempo, é claro, todos os moradores do orfanato estão sob seu domínio e ela começa a bolar um plano para fugir dali. O que ela não sabe é que um homem muito estranho conhece seu segredo. Ele quer o livro e pretende usar os poderes dela para cometer um crime diabólico. 

Ponderação:

Apaixonou-me pela capa, é incrível. Molly aprende que algumas pequenas coisas são muito mais importantes do que as maiores riquezas do mundo e, principalmente, aprende que o mais importante são as relações verdadeiras e não as construídas em cima de inverdades.
