Molly Moon, Micky Minus and the Mind Machine


The book Molly Moon, Micky Minus and the Mind Machine by Georgia Byng is the fourth installment in the Molly Moon series. This time Molly moon is on the mission to rescue her stolen twin, who was stolen when he and molly were born. She tracks the thief and eventually discovers that he is the power of the 6-year-old evil genius Princess Fang and is named Micky Minus in Switzerland. Fang uses Micky to control the villagers by hypnotizing them.

Molly unfortunately is caught and Fang uses her Mind Machine, a huge Jellyfish like machine that absorbs knowledge from a person. Molly’s Hypnotic powers are sucked away and she is stuck on Mount Blanc while Rocky is hypnotized. The mind machine had side effects and she was left with the ability to read peoples thoughts.

Nurse Meekles, a mentor of Micky helps Molly absorb Micky’s Hyopnotic powers and makes them escape. Micky and Molly hide in a zoo. Molly meets the true king. Molly promises to help them get back their power.
Over time Molly convinces Micky that she is really her twin and manages to get his trust.

The zoo members get an order to perform a show with the animals in the zoo. Molly gets into the palace. Petula finally manages to hypnotize and hypnotizes a worker of Fang. Molly using her thoughts gets back her and Micky’s power and she hypnotizes the guards and Fang herself.

She eventually discovers that Fang is actually an adult, but she went back to the beginning of time to the bubble of youth and managed to become young.

This book feels different from the usual books and feels odd as Georgia Byng talks about the future. There is not much hypnotism and is not very gripping compared to the other books. This book is certainly worth a read and will certainly entertain you. This book is just perfects for a lazy summer afternoon.
