Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6–If reading a Molly Moon title means navigating a variety of twists, turns, and sudden surprising revelations, then this addition to the series is no exception. Having perfected her hypnotic technique and defeated her villainous uncle in Molly Moon Stops the World (HarperCollins, 2004), the protagonist is caught completely unaware when a stranger kidnaps her beloved pug, Petula. It isn't long before Molly follows the pet backwards in time to 1870 India. There, she meets the repulsive Maharaja of Waqt, a spoonerism-loving cad who collects time-traveling crystals. Seeing Molly as an obstacle to his plans, he sets about kidnapping her at ages ten, six, and three, and as a baby. Now she must rescue her former selves and find a way to defeat Waqt, all while navigating some tricky time travel and taking care not to change anything in the past that would significantly alter the future. Byng plays fast and loose with her time-travel rules, often contradicting herself and making up explanations for problems encountered along the way. The breakneck speed of the novel, which reads like an elaborate chase sequence, will undoubtedly please fans and leave them howling for the next installment. Though sloppy, the plot is undeniably engaging and even attempts to explain the rudimentary differences between Hinduism and Islam. Just don't expect any condemnations of colonialism. This is an ambitious addition to the genre and a first purchase for any library in which the previous titles are popular.–Elizabeth Bird, New York Public Library

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sequel to Past Editions, Stands Well on Own Too (Great for "Potter" Fans), Nov 30 2005
By George Buttner "Agent0042" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Molly Moon's Hypnotic Time Travel Adventure (Hardcover)
"Molly Moon's Hypnotic Time Travel Adventure" is the third book in a series of adventures about a girl named Molly Moon and Georgia Byng delivers once again.

Hynpotic Time Travel Adventure picks up right where Stops the World left off. Molly has found her parents, but finds herself not entirely happy, for Lucy Logan seems to have sunk into a deep depression and Molly feels that her own inadequacy may be partly to blame. She's pondering starting up a hypnotic hospital with her good friend, Rocky, and wonders if maybe Logan should be her first patient. She doesn't have much time to dwell on this, however, as strange things are afoot.

Before she knows it, Molly finds first her dog, Petula, kidnaped and then herself. She's whisked back to India in 1870, where a strange man called Maharaja Waqt is upset that Molly has foiled his plans. It seems he's the one that was ultimately responsible for the events of the past book and now, using time travel power, he hopes to erase what Molly's done and further his own selfish schemes. He's largely unaware, however, just how powerful Molly is.

This book contains deep thoughts about friendship, self-worth, perseverance and even religion. I found myself really connecting with what Georgia Byng was saying, both about social systems and religion.

The Molly Moon books also have pretty well developed characters. While I feel the characters aren't quite as deep and well-developed as those of the Potter series (a very hard act to live up to), you can still connect with them and many of them are just plain cool (including the hippie Forest, who has a much larger role in this book than the previous.)

Hypnotic Time Travel Adventure lives up to the standard of the past books and is actually even better. Word has it now that work on a feature film has begun, with David Heyman, producer of the "Harry Potter" films on board to produce the movie. I can't wait for the next book as well, as the ending of this sets up a great cliffhanger for the next.

This review is from: Molly Moon's Hypnotic Time Travel Adventure (Hardcover)
As you saw on the title,I like Molly Moon. If you like adventure,suspense and mystery, you should run to your nearest library and find the whole series. But you have to read the books in order or nothing will make sense. I can't imangine how anyone would not LOVE this series.

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Molly Moon's Hypnotic Time Travel Adventure (Hardcover)
After the exitment and scheme of the first book the third and second books were kind of a let-down.A lot of books do that and I find this book is no exeption. Same old story. Every time you think you have found the power crazed manic , you find out he has a master , a more power crazed manic than him/her.
