The cinema is a great place to go to when you want to be transported elsewhere. But Lucas and his friends are not expecting to be literally swept away when a visit to the local movie theatre, aka The Black Hole, results in a tidal wave coming out of the screen and sweeping the lot of them off to exotic locations and unexpected adventures.

Maya, Caitlin, Finn, Ash and Lucas are initially excited to be part of a story that - among other things - involves prehistoric creatures and lost locales. Unfortunately, they are not prepared for the degree of danger that comes with their travels!

This is an entertaining and fast-moving story that provides plenty of excitement for young readers. It offers an unusual and wildly imaginative ride in the form of a movie experience quite different from any other...I give it 3.5 stars.
