How to Read the Molly Moon Books
Read the six novels in story order, beginning with Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism and ending with Molly Moon and the Monster Music. Molly's powers, friendships, family discoveries, and recurring enemies build across the series.
Some publisher listings display reissues in an unusual storefront order. The descriptions still identify each adventure's story number; this page follows that narrative sequence rather than current-edition display dates.

For parents
What Parents Should Know
The playful adventures also involve mind control, kidnapping, cruel orphanage adults, criminal villains, threats, chases, and children in danger. Hypnosis sometimes raises questions about consent and using power over other people. Pan Macmillan recommends the final book for ages 9–11, and sensitive readers may find some villains or peril tense despite the comic tone.
