Night on Terror Island — Philip Caveney

It's the scariest movie ever -- and they're stuck in it! An adventure thriller for young film fans.

Kip's dad owns the Paramount, an old-fashioned cinema that is struggling to survive. But when the new projectionist Mr. Lazarus arrives -- very old, and a bit magical -- he sets up his equipment and suddenly the images seem brighter and sharper, and business improves drastically. But one day Kip and his friend are watching Terror Island -- a scary adventure set on an island full of saber-toothed tigers and hungry cavemen -- when Kip's little sister Rose appears on screen! Kip runs up to the projection room and confronts Mr. Lazarus, who demonstrates the Lazarus Enigma: a device that can project things, and people, into 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 saber-toothed tigers? And if he can, how is he going to get back?
