Book description
Kip's dad owns an old-fashioned cinema, the Paramount. Struggling to
survive in an age when multiplexes rule the world, the cinema seems
doomed. But then Mr Lazarus arrives, and introduces himself as the new
projectionist. He's very old, and a bit magical, and when he sets up his
equipment, suddenly the images seem brighter and sharper, and the
audience numbers are better than ever before. But one day Kip and his
friend are watching
Terror Island
- a scary adventure set on an island full of sabre-toothed tigers and
hungry cavemen - when Kip's little sister Rose appears on screen! Kip
quickly puts two and two together, runs up to the projection room and
confronts Mr Lazarus, who demonstrates the Lazarus Enigma: a device that
can project things, and people, in to the world of the movie itself.
When you're in the film, everything is real. Real bullets, real swords,
real monsters. But beware . . . if you don't get out by the time the
closing credits roll, you'll be trapped in the film forever! Can Kip get
to Rose before the sabre-toothed tigers? And if he can - how is he going
to get back?! Philip Caveney is a copywriter from Manchester. He has
had several adult thrillers published in the past but has now turned his
hand successfully to children's books, including the Sebastian Darke and
Alec Devlin series.
