Molly Moon Stops the World

I loved this book. My friends suggested it to me and at first i thought it would be bad but it was so amazing. It was one of the best books i've ever read. Make sure to read the first one also they are both so good, funny and creative. If you are looking for a good book to read i would recommend this.
