This is the second book in the Molly Moon series.
This time, Molly has promised to stop using her hypnotic powers because they are too "dangerous", but she misses the sensation that she gets when hypnotizing people and the fusion feeling, so she attemps to hypnotize objects instead of people one time when she is wearing a diamond around her neck and it freezes time! And Molly is summoned by Lucy Logan, a librarian and the sister of Cornelius Logan (the author of Molly's hypnotism book), to stop this evil American billionare and hypnotist named Primo Cell who has all the celebrities under his power and is plotting to become President and take over the world!
Ohhh, this is cool. Just like the previous book, Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism, it features an excellent plot, colourful and likeable characters, lots of humour, and a positive message. Except it's even more exciting!
I'd recommend this book to just about anyone, but you should definitely read the first book first. There are some confusing parts, but that's the fun of it.
GO MOLLY MOON!
P.S. There's gonna be a movie of the first one!

What does the first half of a children’s book from 2003 and the 2016 presidential election have in common? An evil business man turned politician who keeps literal children in cages while working closely with his adult children and celebrities and a catchy campaign slogan focused on the word America. That being said, this is genuinely one of the funniest books I’ve maybe ever read. I was laughing alone in my bedroom at the marvelous curiosity that is Molly Moon herself. No one else is brave enough to drink pure grenadine neat, dissociate in the car, come up with the Birds Aren’t Real movement, and tackle the entire institution of capitalism and the hideous car-centered cities that come with the fact. She’s a girlboss who wishes she had a gun and supports working class rights. I found myself taking extensive highlights nearly every chapter because there was always something just so funny. There were also some tremendously profound moments, with Rocky creating his own religious experiences centered on love and kindness, Molly and Forest having a deep conversation in celebrity in our culture and the pure luck that catapults them above the rest of us, who are simply “stardust” not “stars”, and Molly realizing she is an independent person outside of her parents and the rest of the world and she can be whoever she wants. Molly is such a plucky and earnest protagonist who makes it impossible not to love her and everyone else she loves. This will be a hard book to top in this series, but I’m looking forward to continuing it.

Datorită faptului că am citit primul volum al seriei cu mulți ani în urmă, am fost surprinsă să regăsesc aceeași magie între paginile cărții.
În acest al doilea volum, orfana Molly Moon împreună cu prietenul său Rocky este trimisă în L.A. pentru a dejuca planurile lui Primo Cell, om care voia să ia lumea în stăpânire cu puterile sale hipnotice. Cea care îi cere lui Molly să pornească în această misiune este Lucy Logan, femeia care i-a oferit cartea lui Molly și a învățat-o astfel despre existența hipnotismului. Cei doi copii încropesc un plan de atac însă sunt în scurt timp capturați și de aici pornește o serie de evenimente în lanț, cu mai multe plot twist-uri decât m-aș fi așteptat.
Deși seria rămâne în continuare middle grade, nu pot decât să rămân cu adevărat uimită de talentul literar al Georgiei Byng, care a reușit să strecoare o grămadă de alte informații la prima vedere inofensive în aventurile puștoaicei de 11 ani. În acest volum, Molly Moon află de asemenea cine sunt părinții ei însă acest aspect urmează să fie detaliat în volumele următoare. În protagonistă este în continuare bine întipărit conceptul de bine și nu se abate de la căile sale, dorind să salveze și să ajute cât mai mulți oameni prin puterile sale hipnotice, trecând peste propriile temeri în acest scop. De asemenea, Molly își descoperă forțe noi și nebănuite, de care nu se credea în stare deși toată lumea îi spunea că e singura care poate să înfrunte răul, că e cea aleasă, mai bună decât oricare alți hipnotiști. Titlul cărții este de asemenea sugestiv și legat de aceste noi puteri pe care Molly și le descoperă...
Lumea Hollywood-ului ne este prezentată într-un mod comic, cu nume fictive pentru personalități reale din lumea filmului. Problema faimei este pusă de câteva ori pe parcursul romanului însă Molly poate vedea mai departe de fascinația față de vedete ale oamenilor obișnuiți și realizează că altele sunt valorile cu adevărat importante. Pusă în fața faptului împlinit de a-și cunoaște în sfârșit părinții, Molly se întreabă cum se vor schimba lucrurile de aici înainte și dacă asta o va împiedica să fie ea însăși. Banii sunt o altă temă destul de importantă în carte, întrucât Molly și prietenii ei au parte de o adevărată baie de lux, care din nou, nu reușesc să o orbească și să o abată pe aceasta de la scopul său primar. Lupta adevărată se dovedește a fi a lui Molly cu ea însăși iar secretul este acela de a intra în armonie cu universul. Mi s-a părut ingenioasă viziunea autoarei asupra ideii de monopol internațional, de manipulare (ex.: oamenii "mari" sunt de fapt marionete ale altor oameni și mai mari), de fapte și consecințele acestora care depășesc mult conceptul de "binele învinge răul". Lumea lui Molly mi se pare foarte realistă și bine concentrată în propoziții simple, care ascund mari înțelesuri - cred că asta m-a făcut să mă îndrăgostesc de serie de la bun început.
Mi-au plăcut mult chestiile extra de la finalul romanului și abia aștept să-l citesc pe următorul, având în vedere că acțiunea are loc în India. Consider că aceasta este cea mai bună serie pentru copii pe care am citit-o vreodată și o recomand tuturor pasionaților de gen.

Molly Moon Stops The World is about Molly Moon, an orphan with mind - blowing hypnotic powers. She is able to induce people using a procedure called hypnotic induction. After learning how to hypnotize people all over the world, rescuing her pet pug Petunia from being dog-napped, you'd think Molly would have had enough adventures to last a lifetime. However, the evildoers of the world simply aren't done doing evil. Molly soon finds herself on a plane to Los Angeles, where she and her best friend Rocky discover that Primo Cell, a powerful, rich public figure, has been controlling celebrities - and has learned how to stop time! Of course, that is not enough for Cell. Now he wants to be President of the United States! When Molly, Rocky and Petula the pug meet him at the Oscars they make some astonishing discoveries. Can Molly’s mesmerizing eyes stop the most dangerous man in the world?
This book will take you on a heart stopping adventure filled with magical events. At the beginning of the book, it was quite boring as the writer describes too much about the characters of the book. The characters description was boring because they put too much adjectives in one sentence and I don’t think that is that good .Although,I think that they described Molly Moon very well in the start of the book. But other than that, once I really got into the story, I could not put the book down, I couldn't wait to find out how Molly saved the world. At first, I felt as if I knew what was going to happen but then the book took me on a roller coaster ride which changed my initial thoughts about it and it even kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
The setting of the scenes in the book were quite interesting. I could picture every scene without a hitch due to the description of the book. I also think that the author’s writing was also quite good because I could understand the story really well and this book is also very understandable for young kids. It has an even amount of flowery words and simple words. After I finished the book, I had learnt about 30 new words from it. It’s always good to learn new things everyday and this book surely helped me increase my vocabulary!
In conclusion, I really enjoyed reading this book and I would totally recommend this book to young readers, probably from the age of 10-15. Overall, its a good book and it is totally worth your time to read it. Georgia Byng is an amazing author and I am looking forward to read more books written by her!

It was amazing!! My favorite character was Petula the Pug. I loved the look of Petula.

Better than the first one. I cried a little at the end, not with the story itself but when I saw Georgia Byng's recommendation of "Holes" by Louis Sachar - another book that was very important to me when I was around 12 years old.

I remember why I loved this series so much now!
I didn't enjoy the first book when I reread it a couple of weeks ago, but this installment is absolutely fabulous. Molly's up against Primo Cell, who has hypnotised most of the stars in Hollywood to advertise his products. He's a multi-multi-billionaire with his eyes on a much bigger prize: he wants to become President of the United States and take over the world.
Molly, Rocky and Petula team up to try and take him down, balking when they confront him and he proudly admits he's a murderer, before trying to put them all out of action. Eek!
If you're looking for a fast-paced children's read that's not-so-light-hearted, this is the book for you. You don't even really need to read the first installment, as all of the events of the last novel are succinctly recapped throughout the story, meaning this would work beautifully as a standalone if you weren't willing to commit to a series.
Well, at least until THAT cliffhanger, which makes it impossible to resist reading book three (which I'm hoping to get to next week!).

2.5 stars. My kids are still really into this series. POSITIVE SIDE: There is even more action than in book #1. The twists and turns play largely in this read and had one of the boys talking excitedly nonstop on this fact. NEGATIVE: The characters and their directions of thoughts I was disappointed with. I just couldn't feel much for any of the characters with this one (book 2 of the series). I'm told books 3 and 4 are better.

A delightful children’s book that is remarkably obsessed with people trying to murder the shit out of the main character.
Also, wild to hear a Brit’s interpretation of Los Angeles. A local cab driver (strike 1) describes it as a “city of gardens.” I truly have no idea what Georgia Byng was on about.

The most biting Hollywood commentary since Sunset Boulevard

Going into this I didn’t realize it was the second book in a series. I realized about a third of the way through when I felt like I was missing key pieces of information. At that point I was already committed so I figured it out from there. It was a really cute story. The imagery and overall descriptive writing were really strong. I was totally able to visualize the characters, and the story as it was moving along. There were a lot more twists than I was expecting. It’s supposed to be a book for ages 8-12 but some parts felt a little too violent and scary (?) for an 8 year old to read. With that said, overall a 4 star read. (Also I learned how the presidential election works because of this book so thanks Molly moon)

I remembered very little of this plot from when I read it as a child. It’s pretty cute and definite keeps your attention. The story is interesting and overall I enjoyed the book. I do think hypnotism is a bit creepy though.
August 5, 2020
This hilarious series keeps you jumping and guessing. Molly Moon is quite the Spitfire and her dog Petula is always in the center of the action. Glad these two conquered another mystery!
December 14, 2020
Notable Content: A lot of New Age type stuff, which may be expected from a hypnotism series, but it's still of note.

I love Petula the dog more than I love myself.

Setelah melewati berbagai kejadian melalui kemampuan hipnotismenya, Molly Moon berjanji pada Rocky, sahabatnya, untuk tidak menghipnotis orang lagi. Padahal terkadang, Molly kepingin sekali melakukan hipnotis. Dan kesempatan itu datang ketika seorang teman lama, Lucy Logan, pustakawati yang menghipnotis Molly agar menemukan buku hipnotisme, mengirim surat dan mengundangnya datang ke rumahnya.
Di rumah Lucy, Molly diberi ‘tugas’ untuk menghentikan seseorang yang bernama Primo Cell, yang juga mempunya kemampuan hipnotisme yang lebih hebat dari Molly. Tugas Molly ini berkaitan dengan tujuan Primo Cell untuk menjadi Presiden Amerika Serikat. Selain itu, hilangnya Davina Nuttell, bintang cilik yang perannya di ‘Bintang-Bintang di Mars’ digantikan oleh Molly ketika ia berada di New York. Ternyata Primo Cell juga seing menghipnotis para bintang terkenal agar mereka mau menjadi model iklan produk yang dimiliki Primo Cell. Singkatnya, Primo Cell hampir menguasai seluruh public figure, mulai dari bintang film Hollywood sampai politisi.
Berangkatlah Molly, beserta sebagian penghuni Happiness House – termasuk Mrs. Trinklebury dan Mr. Nockman – ke Los Angeles, tempat markas Primo Cell berada. Ketika sampai di Los Angeles, kota itu sedang sibuk mempersiapkan ajang akbar malam anugerah Piala Oscar. Molly dan Rocky segera mencari cara agar mereka bisa masuk ke dalam tempat acara itu diadakan, karena mereka yakin bisa bertemu dengan bintang-bintang yang sudah dihipnotis Primo Cell.
Ternyata, tidak semudah itu membebaskan mereka dari pengaruh hipnotis Primo Cell. Otak dan benak mereka benar-benar terkunci dan hanya bisa dibuka dengan kata kunci tertentu. Secara kebetulan, mereka bertemu dengan Primo Cell. Dan ternyata, wajah Molly sudah tidak asing bagi pemirsa tv, pertama karena perannya di ‘Bintang-Bintang di Mars’ dan juga karena iklan layanan masyarakat yang dibuatnya bersama Rocky. Mereka berdua diundang untuk makan malam di rumah Primo Cell. Mereka menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk menyelidiki ruang-ruang di rumah Primo Cell.
Tugas Molly Moon kali ini lebih sulit daripada yang ia duga. Berbeda dengan Mr. Nockman yang penghipnotis amatir, Primo Cell lebih tangguh dan kejam. Bahaya menunggu Molly dan Rocky yang bahkan bisa berujung pada kematian.
Banyak kejutan yang diterima Molly kali ini. Di usianya yang baru 11 tahun, Molly menemukan bahwa dirinya punya kemampuan lain yang membuat dirinya sendiri terkejut.
Petualangan Molly semakin seru dan lucu. Molly juga semakin pintar, cerdas dan cerdik

Pensé que acabaría poniéndole cuatro estrellas, pero no, se lleva las cinco de cabeza.
Es increíble cómo esta mujer crea una historia en la que me encantaría vivir, acompañar a los protagonistas, estar con ellos y ayudarlos en sus aventuras.
En esta segunda parte nos encontramos con una historia más madura que la del primer libro, con secuestros, serias investigaciones y peligros de muerte de por medio. Debo decir que la policíaca no es lo mío, y que ese toque detectivesco a veces me cansaba un poco, pero finalmente el argumento se ha encaminado muy bien. Además, me ha encantado el hecho de que creía saber qué ocurría, pero al final la autora le ha dado la vuelta a la tortilla y ha logrado sorprenderme muchísimo.
Ay, el final...me ha dejado enamorada. Exactamente como en el primer libro, es un final bonito y reflexivo acerca de todo lo ocurrido. Relacionado con eso y también con el tema personajes, debo decir que mi mayor deseo se ha cumplido:
Siguiendo con los personajes, aparecen todos los del libro anterior y también algunos nuevos, de los cuales no voy a hablar mucho para no hacer demasiados spoilers que no podría ocultar. . En relación a esto, debo decir que me sorprende el hecho de que la autora haya conseguido crear una historia tan cautivadora sin necesidad de poner amor de por medio. Sí, todos sabemos que es inevitable emparejar a Molly y a Rocky, y uno tiene la esperanza de que cuando se hagan mayores se enamoren y se casen...pero, por el momento, así ya está bien. Estos libros tratan de amistad, y de que un verdadero amigo está ahí cuando se le necesita, en las buenas en las malas.
Bueno, ya. Hasta aquí el fangirleo. Y ahora me voy a llorar a un rincón porque aún no tengo el tercer libro.

This, in my opinion was a good book. "Molly Moon Stops the World" by Georgia Byng is the second book of six in this series. Although, I will admit, I kind of liked the book better. In this book Molly still knows how to hypnotize people, but she prefers not to because of what happened in the last book. Her librarian friend, Lucy Logan, tells her the mysterious things going on with celebrities. After some digging, Molly and her friend Rocky find out that the culprit is a man named Primo Cell is hypnotizing his way through and is working on becoming president. Molly and Rocky head to Hollywood to catch Cell. While there, Molly finds out that a diamond that she wears gives her the power to stop time, but Primo Cell also has that power. When I got to the end of the book I was shocked. I didn't see it coming, but no spoilers. I thought it had a great ending to it. One of my favorites parts was when Molly found out she had this amazing gift and tried to tell Rocky. Of course he didn't believe her. So, she froze time and put all these weird objects on him to make him believe. When she unfroze time, Rocky was amazed, but confused at what she did. So yeah, I enjoyed reading this book.

Molly Moon Stops the World (Book 2) is one of those books that might seem for children after looking at the cover, but I would say that all teenagers should give a chance for this book. I would say that this book led me to enjoy reading. I loved how even though the main characters were around 11-years-old, they were capable to do so many things. The story and plot was very exciting and unlike any other book I have read. All the twists and turns Molly had to face kept me interested and curious to find what would happen next. This book actually made me happy to have the time to read. I would recommend this novel to anyone who wants a story that will keep them absorbed all the way from the beginning, to the end.

The Eight-Year-Old’s third grade classroom book shelf is the gift that keeps on giving. On Wednesday, The Eight-Year-Old discovered Molly Moon and her incredible talent for hypnotism. The Eight-Year-Old has been speaking to me with wide swirly eyes ever since.
That is, when she can bear to look up from her book at all. She even canceled Family Togetherness Masterchef Junior TV Time this week in favor of reading about Molly Moon’s hypnotic adventures in Hollywood.
These Molly Moon books must be exceptionally compelling reading. I thought nothing could come between The Eight-Year-Old and her affection for the nice version of Gordon Ramsey. I might have to read one of these books myself.

February 26, 2014This book is the sequel (in other words the second book of the series) to the first molly moon book "molly moon's incredible book to hypnotism". This book is full of adventure and fun seeking quests. I personally enjoyed the characters and how much the author has put thought into there personality and thoughts. This book drew me in all the way from the start, Every now and then a new problem would come up and Molly and her friends would have to solve it and get past it.
There are 6 books in the molly moon series. All of them have got new ideas and problems, which many people like about in book series
In this book Molly is on a quest to find her mother,leading her to L.A America.

Molly Moon Stops The World is a great book. It has a bunch of events that made me feel like I was in the story and that I had to help Molly and Rocky.Rocky is Molly's friend who can hypnotise people just like Molly. I think that it's a great book.

I love these books! They are so cute and fun to read. Although I do admit I purely picked this book up because there was a pug on the cover.:p. But I am a pug fanatic so I had to read this book. Had to had to had to. Because so far, the pug on the cover books I have read have all been good.
