Which tv series is this?

[Elinor]

I am looking for an Australian tv show. Genre - fantasy. A boy while playing a prank on two girls with a friend gets transported to a fantasy world by a bolt of lightning. This fantasy world is ruled over by totalitarian socerers who where special cloaks linked with electricity which charge up with magic when they slam their sleeve/ wrists together. I read the first book of the series and wish to know the name of the series. His friend back on earth teams up with one of the girls to rescue his friend using the pretense of being in love to fool a couple of romantics into giving up their places at the very camp where the protagonist dissapeared. The main character meanwhile has enlisted the help of a initially mistrusfull teenage female local. The first book ends with the protagonist managing to get through back into our world only to realise that he has brought the girl from the fantasy world with him. That is all I remember. He!lp
