«The Demon Headmaster» is the suspense and mystery novel by Gillian Cross, published by Oxford in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Dinah arrives at a new foster family and a school where the pupils behave with almost robotic obedience. With her brothers Lloyd and Harvey, she discovers that the headmaster exerts a hypnotic power over the children. As they try to expose him, Dinah falls under his influence, and the headmaster's plan turns out to be far more ambitious: to dominate the whole nation.
First instalment of the The Demon Headmaster saga, originally published in 1982.
For young readers from around 9 years old who enjoy mystery stories, school adventure and suspense.
