1: Some Flaws, but a Mostly Enjoyable Adventure
Finn is having strange dreams. They started when the thirteen year old became a "Disney Host Interactive," a fancy term for a hologram that guides guests around Disney World's Magic Kingdom. But now, every night, he finds himself wandering around the deserted theme park.
Things only get weirder when he finds out the other four DHI's are experiencing the same thing. Then they learn from Imagineer Wayne that this was their real purpose. Seems that the forces of evil are trying to rebel and take over the park. And it is up to Finn and his new friends to figure out a way to stop them from succeeding. Can they do it?
For a Disney fan like me, this book has an irresistible premise. When I learned about it, I couldn't pass it up. And I mostly enjoyed it. In fact, every time I picked it up, it was a fight to set it back down again. The story moved quickly and I especially enjoyed the setting since I just made my first trip to Disney World. Several scenes were very exciting, and I may never look at some of my favorite attractions the same way again.
However, the book did have some problems. The only character I felt I really got to know where Finn and Amanda, a new student at his school. The other four DHI's were a bit interchangeable to me. Additionally, there is a major plot hole in the story. Finally, the climax was a bit weak.
I know these complaints sound rather major, but they weren't. The fantasy and fun of the story made it easy to overlook them and enjoy the story. I'm sure anyone in the targeted 10 and up age range, but especially Disney fans, will find this book thrilling.

2: Kingdom Keepers
My 4th daughter was going to read this - she got lost over the first chapter, so I started reading it to her. Before I knew it, I was as into the book as she. The first chapters are spent with a lot of background information, building the basis for this thriller. By the end, she was very insistent that we have our reading time and had me carrying the book into restaurants to read. I thoroughly recommend!

3: Kingdom Keepers - Fun and Exciting!
The whole family read the book and loved it! Ages range from 11 to 45. We are huge Disney affectionados, and can place ourselves into the setting of the adventures. And it will definitely change our next Disney vacation.

5: Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark
This book is especially good to read if you are about to make a trip to a Disney park. I read it before my second trip Disney, so I knew the area of most of the attractions that are spoken of which makes that much more fun as well. Now this book is not really one of those deep thinkers. It is purely action and adventure. It is simply written and this the first book in the series. The second book Kingdom Keepers II: Disney at Dawn just recently came out. Finn and friends are enjoyable to read about because in a way they are just there enjoying the rides along with you, even though they may be in danger. I highly recommend this book for both boys and girls.
