Gr 6-9-Characterization takes a backseat to action in this second entry in a fantasy series set at Capra Video High School, where four students have the magical ability to enter into a movie, become the protagonist, and fight fictional evil, mirroring the fight against evil in the real world. In this book, Kaz Murneau becomes the Vidz character Kathleen and uses a time machine to prevent the tragedy that killed Kathleen's famous scientist parents and to root out the villain who caused them harm. Kaz experiences her character's memories and feelings with a sense of distance and detachment. In real life, to which she returns by yelling, "Cut!" she is a tough customer who exhibits scant emotion-the spat she maintains with her father over his business failure feels superficial and melodramatic. Black-and-white manga-style drawings representing camera shots illustrate some scenes. The plot, which includes changing levels of reality and fantasy, and switches quickly between the past and present, occasionally seems to lose focus. Eventually, in her own world, Kaz defeats none other than the high school librarian, a glamorous woman who has been showing movies that brainwash local youth into robbing their parents.

The Fast Forward series launched last season with A Dangerous Secret, about a high school whose students are selectively chosen to cross over into a celluloid life in a "Vidz." Now the spotlight shifts from Hamish to Kaz, who invents a time machine in her parallel universe, in Time Trap by Ian Bone, illustrated with clever comic strip-like accompaniment by Jobi Murphy.

Mysterious forces draw Kaz inside a DVD movie called Time Trap, where she identifies the villain, thereby exposing an evildoer in the real world. Time travel scenes within the film are interspersed confusingly with shifts between the DVD and real life, slowing down the plot. Kaz's overly obvious conclusions about family love are too sweet for even a B movie. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Kaz defeats both metaphorical and genuine evil in this mildly amusing if didactic second installment of the Fast Forward series. Kaz may be the magical Second Director of the Vidz, destined to fight evil, but she's also broke. Even her beloved DVD player has been repossessed, and she's too upset to worry about the real-life zombie kids who are stealing their parents' money. When her magical Vidz takes her into the life of Kathleen O'Bride, orphaned inventor of a secret time machine, Kaz recklessly changes the past. Alas, as movie-lover Kaz should have known, changing the past also changes the present--and in the new present, Kaz never received her Vidz. Without it, how can she fix what she's broken? As she becomes less self-centered, Kaz learns to accept help from her Vidz sister to save the day in both reality and fantasy. Kaz's defeat of the wicked femmes fatales Mrs. Leigh and Mrs. Bates, told in prose, script and storyboards, continues to entertain. (Fantasy. 9-13) Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
