The Demon Headmaster is in charge of a scientific research centre and has created an Evolution Accelerator: a machine to speed up the evolution process and produce the perfect human. But for this he needs Dinah's DNA, and then to put her into terrible danger to test his theories...This is the fourth title in the best-selling series which inspired the top-rating TV series.
Gillian Cross was born Gillian Arnold in 1945. She was educated at North London Collegiate School, Somerville College, Oxford and the University of Sussex. Although now a full-time writer who often travels and gives talks in connection with her work, she has had a number of informal jobs including being an assistant to a Member of Parliament. For eight years she also sat on the committee which advises ministers about public libraries.
She is married to Martin Cross and they have four grown-up children, two sons and two daughters.
This is a great book! It is about a girl called Dinah, who has defeated the Demon Headmaster on many occasions. But then, her adoptive Dad gets a new job, and the family have to move. Dinah takes this as an opportunity to forget all about the Demon Headmaster, but she, and her adoptive brothers Lloyd and Harvey, soon discover their new home is in a village where all is not as it seems.Can the trio figure out what is wrong with the village? This was a great read, and I would recommend it to readers aged 9+
The coincidences start to mount up as Dinah and co move to a community that has been taken over by none other than the Demon Headmaster. Not as good as the other books, but still pretty fun.
