Authors Avatar

        In the very beginning of the book Molly Moons Incredible Book of Hypnotism we are introduced to Molly Moon. Molly Moon is an orphan who lives at the deteriorating old Hardwick House Orphanage in Briersville. Later on she leaves this sleepy town for New York. She and her best friend Rocky were both dropped off at the orphanage in there infant years and were raised by kind Mrs. Trinkelbury and the mean Miss Adderston who particularly dislikes Molly. Molly is a very plain girl with green eyes, blotchy skin and a large nose. However her life turns around after she wanders into the library depressed because of a fight she had just had with Rocky. As she is sitting by the Y and Z section she hears an angry professor, Dr. Nockman, storm in screaming about a book he had bought from the library and was supposed to pick up, that began with H and was by a man named Logan. The unfortunate librarian had no idea where it was. When the man left and Molly was again in the quiet she begins looking at the books around her all of them about yaks, yachting and ypnotism. After realizing that there is no such thing as ypnotism, Molly pulled the book off the shelf and realizes that it was the lost book that had been misshelved because the first letter had been ripped of the title. The real title was; “Hypnotism An Ancient Art Explained by Doctor H. Logan” Molly steals the book and this is the point where her life turns around.
