Book Recommendation: Kingdom Keepers



               Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson is a tremendous novel about 5 specially selected teenagers who get to watch over the Disney amusement parks at night. They were chosen to be holographic characters, or DHI's who watch over the park to make sure the villains do not take over the attitude of the park. Among the chosen is Finn, an ordinary teen who has lived in Orlando all of his life and he is willing to help protect the park with 5 close friends. He meets Wayne, an imagineer who is in charge of keeping the secrets of Walt Disney secret. When Wayne disappears, the DHI crew know they are in trouble because they do not want the secrets of Walt Disney to be released by the villains. As they venture to save the park, they find the main villain behind the madness, Maleficent. Maleficent's main goal is to leak the secrets of Walt Disney and become the face of Disney, knocking the iconic Mickey Mouse off of his throne. This book might sound like it is for a younger age group, but I think it is for all young adults and is great to read. If you like stories about adventure, you will probably enjoy this book because the crew of DHI's have to venture through the park to defeat Maleficent and restore happiness to the amusement park.

  1. I like how you give the reader a good understanding of the book and what it's about, but I do think that it should be more of a recommendation, like the title says, rather than a summary.
