  The new club Purple is the place to go - if you can get in - and Ellie persuades Dinah and her friends to come along too. The man everyone wants to see is DJ Pardoman whose face keeps changing from Elvis to Madonna to Brad Pitt. His electronic mask is mesmerizing but no one knows who he really is. When the kids visit his website they see there's an online competition - the person who finds out about him will be allowed to lift off the mask. Dinah thinks it's all weird but she's also curious. In her search, she stumbles across something amazing - her real father might be alive after years of thinking he was dead. Dinah must find out more. But she only realizes the truth of these strange coincidences too late. This time the Demon Headmaster is intent on ensuring that Dinah will not interfere with his plans. 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.

  Club Purple is the place to be. What makes it so fantastic is the mysterious DJ Pardoman, who keeps his face hidden behind an ever-changing electronic mask. When a competition is announced to unmask him, everyone wants to know who's behind it. To win, entrants have to find out as much as possible about DJ Pardoman. Of course, Dinah, Lloyd, Harvey and the other SPLAT (Society for the Protection of our Lives Against Them) members want to try their hand at winning. During their research, Dinah makes a discovery on the internet-something she can't even tell the rest of SPLAT about. But when she goes off to investigate alone, she doesn't realize that she's being lured into a trap . . . set by the Demon Headmaster! Can SPLAT foil his evil plans once more? Or will the Headmaster succeed in using Dinah in his mission to control the country?
