When Dinah is fostered by the Hunters she thinks her biggest problem will be fitting in with her foster-brothers, Lloyd and Harvey. However, once she starts at her new school it''s clear that there''s more to worry about. All the children, apart from a handful including Lloyd and Harvey, are too well-behaved - robotic almost - and oddly keen to please the creepy headmaster. The three children set out to discover the nature of his influence over everyone . . . but then Dinah finds herself saying and doing things she has no power over. Soon they uncover the headmaster''s wicked plan. Controlling the school is just a practice run. He has set his sights on dominating the entire nation! The children must foil him before he succeeds . . . but with Dinah under his spell they''ve got a challenge on their hands.Great fun and just a little bit frightening, Gillian Cross''s beloved classic still holds readers under its hypnotic spell, even after thirty years of being in print. An accessible page-turner, The Demon Headmaster is impossible to resist.
Industry Reviews
`"A rattling good yarn."' TLS `"A light-hearted, funny and ingenious story."' School Librarian `"An excellent mystery with an unusual setting."' Good Book Guide `"Gillian Cross is one of the best children's novelists today and her stories of the Demon Headmaster are both fun and quite frightening."' Daily Telegraph `"Brought bang up to date with contemporary references and in-jokes that kids can fully engage with and understand, Gillian is hugely talented and it's fabulous to see this new book ready to give kids the odd headmaster-related nightmare."' Read it Daddy `"The Demon Headmaster has proven popular in the classroom for over three decades and provides a good starting point for discussing how a school or society would look without the liberty to be individuals."'
