Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism

A young orphan girl, Molly Moon, comes across a book on hypnotism. Learning its lessons, she hypnotizes her way to stardom in London and becomes rich and famous. But little does she know that an unscrupulous man wants her book. He tracks her down to London, kidnaps her dog, and blackmails her. In order to get her dog back, she must rob a bank of all its jewels! And then she must find the friends she has lost from her hypnotic journey. This is the first in what is meant to be a series, based on the popular children's novels.
