Kingdom Keepers

If you are looking for an adventure that takes place somewhere warm, then you have to give Kingdom Keepers: Disney after Dark a try. Talk about fun! Five kids were models to be special Disney holographic guides but quickly discover the job gets them more than special park passes! They are thrown into a fast paced race to stop evil magic from taking over the Magic Kingdom (and maybe the world!). There are four in the series written by Ridley Pearson. A fifth book is scheduled for release in April. If you like Percy Jackson, you’ll like this series too.
