Sunni talks Disney Teen Book Series "The Kingdom Keepers"
Hi everyone! I'm in a “wish I was in
Disneyland" mood today,
and I've got a pretty great book series to share that gets me back
to the Disney Parks !!
Which book series is that?
WHY "KINGDOM KEEPERS" OF COURSE!
For those not familiar with this book series, The Kingdom
Keepers. This series is a explosion of adventure and keep you on the edge of excitement set of adventure novels written by
Ridley Pearson (the co-writer of the Peter and the Starcatchers series). It around 5 kids, chosen by Imagineers, to stop the evil forces of
Disney villains and their army known as the Overtakers. Can you imagine being chosen to stop Villains, now that's amazing!!
The 5 kids travel to the Disney Parks, taking part in a new tour
experience from Disney known as DHI (Disney Host Interactive and Daytime
Hologram Imaging) where they would become the models for hologram projections that
would be sort of a tour guide for guests in the Parks.
However, the DHI programing has a couple of bugs, one of
them being that when you go to sleep, you get transported to the Parks at
night, AS YOUR HOLOGRAM SELF.
Enter our main characters of the story,
Willa, (geeky, sweet, and extremely smart)
Charlene, (smart, and athletic)
Maybeck, (sarcastic, lady's man, and stubborn)
Philby, ( the brainy-ac of the group)
and Finn, ( brave and courageous unelected leader)
(art by Nemo-7 on DeviantART)
Finn is the first to awaken in the Magic Kingdom as his
hologram, and while there, he meets an elderly Imagineer named Wayne. Wayne
explains Finn had come for a reason, that reason being he and the other kids
are to protect the parks from the Overtakers. Finn, of course, doesn’t believe
this, till he gets more proof than he needs when some Audio-Animatronic pirates
attack him and two other DHIs the next night. Soon Finn joins the other DHIs together, and
they all meet up at the same time in the park.
From there, crazy stuff happens! Rides come to life, there
are battles with Audio-Animatronics, some love interests come into the picture,
and the dark fairy herself wreaks havoc as she always does.
If you haven’t read the books yet, I highly recommend you
do. There are about 6 in the series at this point.
1. Disney after Dark
2. Disney at Dawn
3. Disney in Shadow
4. Power Play
5. Shell Game
6. Dark Passage
And the last book in the series coming out next month;
7. The Insider
The cool thing that Ridley Pearson has done for the seventh book
is that he’s asked his many fans to help him write the finale. Ridley opened a
contest last year, asking fans to write a paragraph or two, focusing on a
question he would ask, such as “what was the other’s first crossover like?”
Once the contest was over, nearly 75 members of the fanclub
got their entries picked, and will be mentioned in the final print of the book. Cant wait to read what all of his fans came up with !
Which I have to say I really enjoy reading the "Peter & the Starchatchers" series. I think I will save that for another time, so keep looking out for that readers !
The final chapter " The Insider" of the Kingdom Keepers series will be released in April, so be sure to check it out once its out. Knowing that the last book is coming out soon is very sad for me but I know I will continue to read all of them over and over.
Once again if you haven’t read the books yet, PLEASE do so! They are exciting , fun, thrilling with lots of adventure, "You won’t regret it " !
So read on friends Disney has lots to choose from for teen readers and a new series of a Mermaid is coming soon !!
Make everyday magical !
