As an adult, Georgia wrote comic strips and eventually turned to writing books without pictures. She lives with the artist Marc Quinn and her children Tiger, Lucas, and Sky.

Georgia Byng grew up outside Winchester, in England, near the river Itchen, with three naughty brothers and a sister. Her dad was nature loving and her mum was very encouraging and warm. The nearby country lane with its many cottages was somewhere Georgia first found out about characters, for it was teeming with them, and she used to interview them. Otherwise she would try to sell these neighbours things she had made. As a child she loved acting and so at 18 went to The Central School of Speech and Drama in London. After college she began to paint and write. She had always written poems and songs but now she started writing stories. Her first were in comic strip, a medium that she worked with for five years. The Sock Monsters was her first published book in 1995 - a comic strip story for 5 - 7 year olds. Georgia lives in a house in London full of old and new art, as her husband is the conceptual artist Marc Quinn. Marc keeps all sorts of strange things in the fridge - once he had to keep a Canadian frog in there as it was hibernating and had to be kept cold. They and their family, Tiger (17), Lucas (6) and Sky (2) love to travel, their favorite destination being India.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read For Kids of All Ages (and a Few Adults too!)
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2007

Poor Molly Moon feels rejected, different, and lonely at a strict, small town orphanage in England. She often makes mistakes which render her as a frequent target of discipline from the head administrator, Mrs. Adderstone. Molly decides to do something about her situation when she finds a book which teaches her how to become important by hypnotizing people. Her first target is Mrs. Adderstone's mean pug, Petula, who is only mean because her tummy hurts from being fed chocolate chip cookies instead of healthy dog food. Through hypnotism, Petula changes her eating habits and becomes Molly's best friend. The story takes you on a series of adventures that has you rooting for Molly and her pug, Petula. In the end, Molly learns that tricking people into liking her through hypnotism is not the answer to her problems. She learns to be herself and wins the respect of all those who she once considered to be her enemies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Read-Aloud!
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2011
Verified Purchase
Fantastic book just to read, but an amazing book for teachers to use in the classroom as a read aloud. The author writes this story in a way that almost any comprehension skill can be clearly taught again and again all the way through the book. Character traits are clear, and they show an evolution of each characters emotion and action. There is vivid visualization of places, events, and situations, as well as, cause and effect, prediction/drawing conclusions, author's purpose,etc. All the core reading skills are easy to demonstrate within this text. If you are clever with read-aloud voices you will easily draw students into this tale and leave them hanging at the end of each chapter begging for more. This story really keeps the listener on their toes since it twists and turns and does not often turn out like you think it should. A wonderfully well written book!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 7 year-old daughter loved this book
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
This was one of my first eBook purchases for my 7 yo daughter. We ordered a Kindle Fire for her when it went on black Friday sale for $129. By the way, I use Amazon's FreeTime app to limit her game and video time while giving her unlimited reading time. The app needs a few enhancements (like adding music as a category), but it accomplishes the basic job.

Regarding this eBook, we took turns with our daughter reading it aloud. She read a lot of it on her own and finished it on her own at bedtime. She filled us in on the surprising ending. She said she would rate it 5 out of 5 stars. I hope to find many more eBooks that she'll enjoy as much as this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars 10 year old boys perspective
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2013
Verified Purchase
From a 10 year olds perspective, I think this is an enjoyable book for fourth graders. It's pretty good overall with the adventure of Molly's life. It is a little long for me because I'm not much of a reader. I like Legos instead but it was a good book to read for my schools requirements (AR program). If some one likes reading they will enjoy this book. I will probably read another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great classroom read-aloud!
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2011

I was looking for a fun read-aloud for my fifth grade class and I found the Molly Moon series on an approved 5th grade reading list. So, I read the book over one weekend and knew that my class would love it. I was right; they can't wait until read-aloud time and they're always asking if they finish their work early if we could read Molly Moon in the time that's left over. The story starts a bit slowly, but once my kids understood there was magic involved they were hooked.

Tengo 3 niños. De 14, 12 y 9. Cada vez que tienen un libro de Molly Moon's en sus manos no paran de leerlo. Es muy agradable verlos extremadamente en la lectura en lugar de la televisión. Las historias de los libros hacen parte de la conversación de los chicos. Recomendable para cualquiera que quiera animar a sus hijos en la lectura.

赤んぼうの時から孤児院で育てられたモリー・ムーンが図書館で偶然に催眠術の本を見つけ、自分に特別な才能があることが分かったことから冒険が始まります。
友達の大切さや善意を持つことのすばらしさを説いており、子供向けの小説です。ただし、最後の最後まで意外な展開があり、飽きさせません。楽しみながら安心して読めます。
