adventure adapted from Georgia Byng's novel. After discovering a
magical book on hypnotism, orphan Molly Moon (Raffey Cassidy) uses
its powers to escape her glum orphanage life and travel to London

deviates from her quest and mesmerises her way into the lead role
of her very own musical, becoming a singing sensation overnight.
Trouble is not far away however, as Molly's new-found fame attracts
the attention of bungling criminal Simon Nockman (Dominic
Monaghan), who attempts to steal the magic book to use as part of
his latest robbery scheme. The cast also includes Emily Watson,
Joan Collins and Omid Djalili.
