Product Description

Synopsis

Hunky Parker is the latest cult. All the children are desperate for the slippers like pig's trotters, the pigswill yoghurt and the sweatshirts with "Who's always right?" on the front. And they long for a holiday in "The Sty" where there is sun and swimming one day and skiing the next. All except Dinah who begins to suspect that the whole thing is a fiendish plot to control the economy. This is Gillian Cross's third book about "The Demon Headmaster" and readers will recognize all their favourite characters as they find out whether this time SPLAT will be able to defeat their old adversary. The hardback edition of this book was published as "Hunky Parker is Watching You" .

5.0 out of 5 stars Another very good pre-teen kids story - Well crafted, interesting and tense, 23 Mar 2007
By Keith Joseph (West Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The Revenge of the Demon Headmaster (Paperback)
This is the third book in the 'Demon Headmaster' series of six. The book was first published in 1994, 12 years after the first book. The first book (The demon headmaster) is essential pre-reading and it makes far more sense if the books are read in order.

Adopted Dinah has now settled in and the incumbent boys (particularly younger brother Harvey) now treat her as an equal. The SPLAT team are still knocking about together, and Ingrid comes back from holiday talking of a fantastic new craze that is sweeping Wales - everyone there is completely infatuated with a great new TV show and its commercial spin-offs. Fortunately Ingrid has bought back the video of the program, so she insists that the SPLAT team sit down to watch it............

This book reads a bit less like an Enid Blyton's secret seven novel than the first two books, although the storyline is actually more dated than the previous books entrancing computer game storyline in `The Prime Ministers Brain'. This is simply because it mentions VHS videos and the obvious lack of mobile phones. In a way it's a shame the odd few sentences weren't updated as otherwise the story is still quite futuristic.

Like the other two books, my son (10) is really enjoying me reading this book to him at bedtime (at 190 pages it took a while). My son, a poor reader, happily reads a few pages as well. Again this book has no illustrations, despite being aimed at preteens, but the well crafted story reads well enough without them. Plus the vocabulary used is quite varied and challenging, which is useful for children reading. We have now bought all the other five books in this series, which in order are: The Demon Headmaster, The demon headmaster and the Prime Minsters brain, The revenge of the Demon Headmaster, The Demon Headmaster strikes again, The Demon Headmaster takes over, and Facing the Demon Headmaster.

As with the original book, the storyline kept my son's attention throughout. In this story there are definitely more sinister overtones than the first two, though, as all the characters now have `history'. It's not unduly scary at all, but parents may well find the odd bit disturbing (but that's what demon headmasters do). The storyline is very different to the first two books, and my son insisted we read it straight after the second one. Unlike his favourite AstroSaurs and Captain Underpants books, this book is probably more girl friendly as well. We are now well into book four: The Demon headmaster strikes again'.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book stays in front of your face!!!!!, 28 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Revenge of the Demon Headmaster (Puffin Fiction) (Paperback)
The Revenge of the Demon headmaster
The revenge of the demon headmaster is really amazing! I found this book quite intresting. The charcters are Harvey, Dinah, Lloyd, Ingrid, Hunky Parker, and mom. The beginning starts of by this girl called Ingrid comes home in this funny T-shirt and tells every one about it. The next thing you know this guy called Hunky Parker becomes famous all over the city. Also he is a pig or he is not a pig well I am not birthday and she gets something from Ingrid and from her mom a new pare of shoes. Then she got annoyed about Hunky Parker. And Ingrid wanted to watch the c@about him then something happens (canft tell you what ) and they look for it and gets in real danger at the factory of Hunky ParkerI So they got in trouble and they were sent somewhere away they did not know also they were separated like half and half. So they arrived in this place called. (Canft tell you)
Well I canft tell you any more so I will tell you the good parts about this book and then the bad parts about it.
Good parts
Well the good parts about this book are that it can be read by anybody above 1st grade.
Bad parts
Well the bad parts about this book are that some parts I did not understand like the beginning part.
