The Demon Headmaster

Gillian Cross
 Judy Bennett
three cassettes, unabridged, AUDIO BOOK, three cassettes, unabridged
10-14 Middle/Secondary

Dinah has been sent to a new foster home. Everything is strange, but not nearly as odd and sinister as her first day at school. Why are the children - all except her foster brothers - so unnervingly well-behaved? How can the headmaster have such a powerful influence over his pupils? Slowly, the children realise that the headmaster plans to manipulate children throughout Britain via the television quiz programme the school has entered. Dinah and her foster brothers' plans to stop his evil are very exciting. Judy Bennett is a professional who characterises the different children and teachers, and conveys chillingly the robotic speech of the hypnotised children.
