The Kingdom Keepers

A certain student, who shall remain nameless (pineview penguin), has been begging me to read Kingdom Keepers for quite some time. I have not read it yet, but I intend to read it very soon. I will admit that I was not initially excited about this book, but now that I have read a few reviews, my interest has peeked.

In this book 5 young teens working at Disney World find themselves pitted against Disney villians and witches that threaten both the future of Disney World and the world outside the walls. Finn Whitman was one of five teenagers chosen to become the newest attractions at Walt Disney World -- fully interactive holograms to guide visiters around the theme park. But when the children go to sleep, they find themselves "crossing over" into their hologram forms, trapped in the theme park after night, where dark forces are conspiring to take things over. The children learn that beings called the Overtakers are adopting the images of Disney's characters -- particularly their villains -- in a bid for power, leeching on the imaginations of Walt Disney and his Imagineers to become real. But Walt anticipated this day would come, and left clues behind. The only way to save Walt Disney World -- and maybe the entire world -- is to solve Walt's riddle in time.

That was a short summary of the book that I hope sparked some interest for you. I know it did for me.

If you like the first book then there is a sequel. It will be released August 26, 2008. The title is,
Kingdom Keepers : Disney at Dawn.

Utelvrforevr,
I think that our library may have it. You might want to check tomorrow. I would also bet that the public library has it as well. If you want to buy then I would go to amazon.com.
