Cynthia has a huge crush on her classmate, Ryan, though they’ve never spoken. Her good friend, Annie, mocks her for this crush – but Cynthia thinks she can get her own back when Annie develops a serious crush on the new school librarian, Mr Gabriel.
From the outset it’s clear that this is not a serious read. Packed full of humour and with more than a nod to shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I was gripped from the start.
As soon as Cynthia works out that Mr Gabriel is, in fact, a demon, the book veers into something akin to a Scooby Doo episode. I love Scooby Doo. Without giving away plot details, this is not particularly fast-moving but it is such good fun. Thoroughly enjoyable, if a bit daft.
