A movie marathon at their favourite indy cinema turns into a mind-expanding series of adventures for Lucas (named for George?) and his friends in Christoper Edge’s characteristically original, intelligent new book.
The minute the lights go down for this special 4Di screening, the action starts and it’s all real life for the five kids as they find themselves heroes in a series of movies, sci-fi films, jungle adventures, monster pics. They recognise the set ups for each one, as will readers, but as the challenges get bigger, we begin to realise the plot ultimately demands they save the world - or blow up with the rest of its inhabitants.
Christoper Edge loves to explore big scientific ideas, quantum theory for example, and here plays cleverly and to great effect with the science of black holes. It’s clever and intriguing with action scenes would impress Spielberg himself and concludes with a monster twist!
