Kip is a real film buff, and because his dad runs the local independent cinema he gets to see all the latest films as a reward for making the popcorn and generally helping out each evening. But this happy state cannot continue for much longer: the big multiplexes on the edge of town are taking all their clients, and the Paramount Picture Palace may soon have to close for good. Things start to look up when the eccentric Mr Lazarus arrives, but Kip is suspicious: the new projectionist may have a gift for raising the quality of the films he shows to enviable standards, but he knows far more than he should about everyone who works at the cinema. And he talks about stars, films and cinemas of the past as if he had actually been there.

Further reading suggestion: For another breathless, thrilling story where the main characters find themselves suddenly transported to another world, try [[Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow by James Rollins]]. And while the monsters in [[Time Train to the Blitz by Sophie McKenzie]] are all human, the danger and the awful sense of time running out are just as vivid.
