I read a book a long time ago that I can't remember the title or author of.
Here is what I remember about the story:
- The main character was a girl that moved in with a family that wasn't hers for reasons I can't remember. This family had two boys that were attending a particular school.
- She started attending this same school near the start of the book.
- The principal of the school regularly hypnotised the students and other staff.
- The principal had green eyes, which were also the colour of the uniform.
- The main character wore her previous school's blue uniform on her first day, which the principal asked her about later.
- The main character was affected by the principal's hypnosis but the two boys were not.
- On one occasion, the main character was induced to automatically say that she learned about ants if anyone asked her what she had learned that day.
- The principal at some point makes it his goal to win a quiz show where two schools competed against each other. The prize was that the principal of the winning school would have a few minutes to say something on camera.
- The principal wanted to use this time to hypnotise everyone watching the show.
I hope that is enough for someone to recognise the book. I will add more details if I remember anything else. Thanks!
