Molly Moon, Micky Minus, and the Mind Machine- Georgia Byng FEBRUARY

Significance- I think this book is a great book because it really shows how a normal girl can be unique and beautiful even when she's not very important. This is a story of a normal girl living at an orphanage, who then finds out she has very strong hypnotizing powers.  It's a wonderful story, which involves real life scenarios and also some fantasy. I think a lot of people can relate to that, because in reality, most people are very normal, who want to be special, and have super powers and things like that. I think that's why this book is so powerful. In the fourth book of the thrilling series, Molly Moon finds herself in yet another exciting adventure, finding herself at death's fingertips once again.

Perspective- This book is written from the narrator's perspective. I think it would be different if it was from Molly's perspective because then it would show more about her feelings, instead of what's going on in the story. I think that was really well done, because it's a kind of confusing plot, and if it was from her perspective I bet a lot of people wouldn't understand it as much.

Evidence- In the beginning of this story, Micky (her twin who was stolen from her time and brought to the future) hates her. I know this because he is really mean to Molly and when Molly reads his mind, he's thinking about terrible things happening to her. He hates her because he doesn't believe they're twins, and he wishes she would just leave him alone to go back to his old life where he hypnotized people for the queen. If it was from Micky's perspective, many things wouldn't have happened, since Micky doesn't remember Molly at all. I think it's the best in the perspective of the narrator, because then you find out the whole story.

Connection- I think a lot of people can connect to this book. I know I can, because I have definitely felt like just a normal, ugly girl before, who's life is going nowhere, and yet one day, something changes and your suddenly special. I know everyone wishes paranormal things could happen to them, like magic, hypnotism, etc. I know a lot of people can connect with this, and it also connects to a lot of other supernatural books like Blue Bloods. Blue Bloods is a story of a girl who's completely normal, and has a pretty normal life, but then finds out she's a vampire. They're all very related.

Supposition- This series of books would be very different if Molly never had a twin, because then she wouldn't have to travel to the future and find him, and then nothing would have happened in this book. I think also in the previous book it would have been different, because then Lucy (Molly's mom) wouldn't have been so depressed because she lost her son. Then it wouldn't have caused Molly to have found out about time traveling, and that whole book would have never happened.
