Kingdom Keepers

Kingdom Keepers- By Ridley Pearson *****

Finn Whitman, an 8th grader has become a hologram host at Disney World, as well as a few others. His job as a host is simple- read a script in front of a camera, have a computer turn him into a hologram, then have him say his pre-recorded script as he is placed in various locations around Disney World. But there is a glitch in the technology used (Disney Host Interactive)- or so he thinks. He wakes up in the middle of the night every night in Disney World. But something odd is going on with the characters in the attractions-THEY COME TO LIFE! Finn and his other DHI friends all end up having these strange dreams, or are they? How will he get them to stop?


I gave Kingdom Keepers 5 stars because the book was extremely hard to put down. I enjoyed every minute of it and have reread it a few times. I also had the opportunity to meet Ridley Pearson, because he came to my school. He is a very funny, sarcastic author. I hope Kingdom Keepers can become a movie! You will never look at Disney World or its many characters the same way when you go there. Watch out while you sleep! You may just end up in Disney World when you wake up! The book can be read and enjoyed by readers of all ages!

This book sounds very interesting, thanks for reviewing it.

I have to say that I enjoy reading your reviews. They are very short but give a huge peek into the book. Even though the reviews are short, you manage to explain what you liked/disliked /and/ keep a comfortable writing style. Good Job!
