Everyone is good at something. But at Lizzie’s school this has been taken to extremes. Her classmate Ethan, who previously had no interest in sport, is now incredible at football; her brother’s suddenly an expert in robotics; and Lizzie has become really good at being bad. But when she tries to remember what awful thing she’s just done, all she has is a blank space in her mind.
How come they’ve suddenly changed so much? And why can’t they talk about it? It’s as though they have no power over their own actions. Could this be something to do with the mysterious new headmaster . . . ?
Surrender yourself to the new hypnotic spell of the Demon Headmaster, with new kids, a new school, and a new thrilling scheme for world domination. Fast paced and action packed adventure, written by the award-winning Gillian Cross. Resistance is not an option.

The thrilling book that has inspired the new 2019 CBBC series, The Demon Headmaster.

It was fiction and i liked that the main characters were trying to save the whole school because the dinner ladies were ruining all of the kids food.I would recommend it.

It is non fiction story. I like the headmaster character the best because he controls everyone by stating look into my eyes. Yes I will recommend others to read the story as well.

It was a bit long but still I enjoyed it. It lacks suspense at the end but other than that it was absoultely PERFECT! I loved the theme of hypnosis which I think is a really topic.

29 Jul 2020

It has new characters and ideas.

27 Jul 2020

This book was quite scary. I felt for the characters, and I didn't know what would happen next! This Headmaster is evil and undefeatable, but will they ever take him down!?

18 Jul 2020

It is funny how the children defeat the headmaster's plan to take over the world.

17 Jul 2020

Don’t look into his eyes!!!

03 Sep 2018

The headmaster is horrible and puts the kids under his spell, some good, some bad but ultimately he makes school a living hell.

It was fun to read but I'm so glad I don't go to that school!

24 Aug 2018

It is not nice to control of people.What if you got controlled,would you be happy?I like the little three children because they know that something is going on so they take control.I would recommend this book because it could just make you laugh and happy!
