After fighting them, Jack drives off, later noticing two children, Sara and Seth sitting in the back seat of the cab.

Race to Witch Mountain: The Junior Novel ( 2009) is by James Ponti.Jack Bruno was born in midland Texas and was a trouble kid who got set to Juvie in and out, he took part of demolition Darby and dirt races. Race to Witch Mountain ignores the contents of both. Return from Witch Mountain ( 1978) followed on directly from the events of the first Escape to Witch Mountain ( 1975) by introducing new antagonists played by Bette Davis and Christopher Lee Beyond Witch Mountain ( 1982) was a television pilot that failed to develop into a series. The film is playful and undemanding froth in the mode of the Technothriller that succeeded in doubling its budget at the international box office. That Sara and Seth's mastery of terrestrial Technology extends to everything but Transportation does not freight the narrative with undue exposition and Dr Friedman's exasperated attempts at presenting scientific fact to an audience more concerned with crop-circles and clandestine Exogamy than with Physics are mined (with some success) for Humour until she too is won over by the demonstrations of the all-powerful blond children – "Interstellar travel is possible using Wormholes as a short-cut through space" – and begins describing a series of plot unlikely convergences as "chaos theory". "My sister also has the gift of Telepathy," adds Seth, before revealing his own ability to "change his molecular density" (see Teleportation) at will.
