Product Description

Book Description

In the fifth book of the series the Demon Headmaster seems to be invincible-but can it really be him?


Product Description

Dinah and her brothers are pretty sure they're rid of the Demon Headmaster once and for all. When people start dismantling the research centre Dinah contacts Professor Claudia Rowe, who's an expert on artificial intelligence. With Dinah's help she saves some of the precious materials and they become friends. Then weird things start to happen. Libraries start closing and their books are taken away. Telephones stop working, and there is no internet access. People start talking like robots-even Claudia Rowe-and more and more of them seem to be wearing strange badges. It all adds up to one thing: the Demon Headmaster must be back. Dinah's search leads her to the university where she finds him developing a Hyperbrain-a computer with superhuman intelligence and deadly potential. Suddenly she's trapped. Is there any way to foil his plan? Gillian Cross has won the Carnegie Medal, the Whitbread Children's Novel Award, and the Smarties Prize, and is a highly-acclaimed author. Sales of Gillian's books exceed one million copies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another good one, 23 Mar 2009
This review is from: The Demon Headmaster Takes Over (Paperback)
Following the incident at the Research Centre things seem to be looking up for Lloyd, Harvey and Dinah. The Headmaster is finally gone and they're moving back to their old town to be reunited with the rest of SPLAT. Dinah who is still invetigating the creeper with the help of Professor Claudia Rowe meets Michael Dexter son of Professor Tim Dexter and finds out about his project on artificial intellegence, Hyperbrain. A comouter that can think like a human. It all sounds great but soon libraries are closing, news stops being broadcast and badges with green hands begin appearing everywhere. Also the new controller of the Hyperbrain project sounds very like the Headmaster, but it couldn't be... could it?

Gillian Cross delivers again on this book. SLAT are brought right up to date with the introduction of the Cybercafe and SPLATweb.

This review is from: The Demon Headmaster Takes Over (Paperback)
This Book is fab a great book for all fans of the show and the books or just want to try something different.
What's going on? Dinah and SPLAT investagate, and their search leads them to the Hyperbrain- a computer with more than human intelligence. Its mysterious Controller sound horribly like the Demon Headmaster, but the Headmaster has vanished for ever .... or has he? A brilliant Tv Tie in Edition written by GILLIAN CROSS
