1: Excellent Read
I throughly enjoyed reading The Kingdom Keepers. As a kid, I spent many days exploring the Magic Kingdom and dreaming of the adventures that might have been. I will recommend this book to all my friends and family and their kids. As far as the strength of the story, it's excellent right up to the end... which I thought was a bit flat. Maleficent was pursueing Finn, her powers amplified, and yet she was contained by a fishing net and a jail cell? It felt a bit thin... otherwise the story was a real nail biter.
Thank you Mr. Pearson for a thrilling tale and for reigniting some of those dreams of adventures past and future. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

2: Great Read!
Seriously has to be one of the most underrated series of books I have come across. I was so into the Peter and the Starcatchers series that I stumbled across this book. My wife and I read this book while she was pregnant every night wishing we were back at DisneyWorld. The story was a little hard to understand at first but once the first few chapters were done it was fast and furious afterwards. My wife and I absolutely enjoyed the book and look forward to Kingdom Keepers II: Disney and Dawn coming out in August. An absolute must for Disney lovers!

3: A must for a disney lover!
I bought this book because I am a disney fanatic. I began reading and through the thing it kind of scared me off different rides at WDW but now it makes me love it even MORE!
Hearing about all of these places being mentioned .. it's just amazing.
A must buy!

4: Not good reading for girls
Although I thought this book was entertaining I was very disappointed by the way the female characters were portrayed.
2 of the girls were very shallow and stupid sounding (extemely annoying) seemingly unconcerned with the task at hand. The others were evil.
In the end the boys were the heros, rescuing one of the helpless girls from an evil witch woman.
The girls were also describe in terms of their level of physical attractiveness, beauty, sexuality. The boys weren't.
I hate to be so picky, but it was sort of disappointing to see this level of passive sexism in a book for younger teens.

5: Best Book I Have Ever Read!
This book is amazing! I love Disneyland and this book made me feel like I was actually there! The story is about Finn, a 13 year old boy who becomes a DHI (Disney Host Interactive) which is a tour guide who appears as a human, but is actually a hologram. The process of the scanning makes him and 4 others cross over to Disney World at night. They have to figure out what the Stonecutter's Quill is and avoid the Overtakers (Disney Villians) This is only the beggining of a series of books and I am looking forward to the release of the 2nd book on August 28th!
