MOLLY MOON'S INCREDIBLE BOOK OF HYPNOTISM by Geogia Byng

This book is mostly about an orphan girl named Molly but also about a boy named Rocky. in their orphanage, there is a strict lady called Mrs. Adderstone who punishes them a lot. That is, until Molly finds a book called Hypnotism by a famous hypnotist from the early 1900s. Molly then moves to Manhattan, New York to get Rocky as he was adopted. On her way she became rich and famous but then her dog, Petula was stolen by a master of crime, Professor  Nockman. He said the only way to get the dog back was to rob a bank for him. Otherwise, Petula would die. Luckily, Petula made it out alive and Rocky hypnotized Nockman to give the goods back.
    I think the saddest part was when Rocky was adopted and left Molly with Mrs. Adderstone and all the mean kids in the orphanage. 
  I would recommend this book to both boys and girls ages 9-15
