Synopsis
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.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. A gripping and thought-provoking school story packed with mystery, suspense, and unforgettable twists, this classic children's novel follows Dinah as she uncovers a chilling secret that threatens far more than just her new school. When Dinah moves in with her foster family, she thinks her biggest challenge will be settling in with her foster brothers, Lloyd and Harvey. But from her very first days at her new school, something feels wrong. Most of the pupils are unusually obedient, strangely emotionless, and eager to please the sinister headmaster at all costs. Together, Dinah, Lloyd, and Harvey begin investigating the mysterious influence the headmaster seems to have over the students. As they dig deeper, they uncover a terrifying truth. The headmaster's power extends far beyond ordinary discipline, and his ambitions reach much further than the school gates. When Dinah herself begins to fall under his control, the race is on to stop his dangerous plans before it's too late.
