This book was thrilling. I was gripped the whole way through and the I just adored the plot lin. I would recommend this book for anyone who's 9 or older as it can get a tiny bit scary. This book was amazing. I have yet to read the other novels but I am sure from the writing of this one that I am soon to make a new review recommending it.

My favourite character was the headmaster because he could hypnotize people. The best bit of the book was when the headmaster hypnotized the whole school so that they would follow his rules. I would recommend this book to other readers.

I liked how Dinah used pepper to stop the Headmaster from controlling the school and defeated him in the end. I will try to read the next few books in the series.

I read this book because I saw the programme on CBBC and really enjoyed it so I thought I would read the book. I thought the book was really good because there was more information in the book than the programme. My favourite character was the Demon Headmaster because he's scary, weird and people are not sure who or what he is and his eyes are frightening. My favourite bit of the book is when the headmaster is on the Eddie Hair tv show and Dinah threw a pepper pot at his face so he couldn't hypnotise everyone with his eyes because he was sneezing. I would recommend this book to anyone who has watched the programme or like scary stories.

I like how the headmaster is evil but he actually seems quite nice!It was written a long time ago but I don't find it different from other newer books I have read.My favourite character is a girl called Dinah because (SPOILER ALERT!)she defeats the demon headmaster by throwing a pepper pot at him! I definitely recommend it.

I liked all the characters equally. I would recommend this book to someone else.

I loved this book since it has an amazing storyline and plot to it, and the way Gillian Cross has described this plot is truly fantastic in the way that you can imagine everything is going on. The one thing I would change is to make the book larger, hence I have given it four stars. This book would be best suited to the age range of 9-11 years old.

This is a good children's book with an exciting story line where a headmaster at a hypnotised school tries to hypnotise the whole country.
