'The Kingdom Keepers' Book Review

The Kingdom Keepers
Ridley Pearson
5/5 Stars
Disney-Hyperion


One Star for Character Development
One Star for Plot
One Star for Conflict and Resolution
One Star for Flow
One Star for Ending

The book is about Finn, Maybeck, Philby, Willa, and Charlene are the hosts of the next interactive Walt Disney World program including holograms.
Every night the hosts are sucked into Magic Kingdom and are introduced to the prospect of the Stonecutter's Quill, which is a powerful weapon wanted by the Overtakers, evil Disney villains.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and read it in two days, but I DO recommend it to Children's Books rathen than YA.
It does have YA themes, though: evil, witchcraft, romance, and violence. The main antagonist is Maleficent, the evil fairy who possess the character Amanda's sister, Jessica, and turns her into Jezebel, who is an evil character from the Bible.
The plot flow very well and involves a lot of twists and turns and mystery which you don't have to pay too much attention to.
The ending was a huge cliffhanger, in which the hosts press a mysterious button, leading us into the second book, Disney At Dawn, which is out now.
