One thing I really like to do, is read the same book as a friend. You can find out which parts they found exciting, or frightening. Did they laugh at the same bits as you? And the great thing about it is, that you can read the same book, but have a completely different experience. And unlike the Demon Headmaster's robot pupils, you can think for yourselves. Together with her new found friends, Dinah must uncover the secret of her school, defeat her Headmaster (without getting expelled! lol)and hopefully win over her new foster family. These include the de facto leader and organizer Lloyd Hunter. Who can be a bit arrogant and sometimes jello of anyone stealing his thunder. But is ultimately a capable leader and is not actually as stupid as he first seems.

They can draw, paint or create a representation of what they imagine this character to look like.

Again, and again, and again, and again, and again. And soon, even Dinah finds herself saying it. Is she being controlled by the Demon Headmaster too?Wow, that was weird. Okay, so what about the other pupils? Well, Dinah gets no help from them at all. Every time she asks questions about the school, all they say is...

Walau tergolong pendek (hanya sepanjang 120-an halaman), kepribadian tokoh-tokoh di sini mampu bersinar terang. Saya menyukai karakter Dinah sebagai heroine yang kaku dan tegas, sekaligus berhati lembut dan selalu berupaya untuk tidak menonjolkan kelebihannya. Perkembangan hubungannya dengan kakak beradik Lloyd dan Harvey amat menyenangkan untuk diikuti, begitu pun dengan perkembangan karakter dan sudut pandang Lloyd yang sempat merasa 'terancam' dengan kehadiran dan kecerdasan Dinah. Gambaran para karakternya terasa autentik dan punya keunikan tersendiri, tidak sekedar meniru tipe-tipe karakter yang sudah sering dipakai.
