Kingdom Keepers

Hello! Sorry I haven't written in sooo long! I just read this incredible book called Kingdom Keepers! This book takes place in the magical world of Disneyland. Five teens are chosen as models for a new program called DHI. DHI stands for Disney Host Interactive and Daylight Hologram Imaging. DHI's are holograms of children that guide people around the park. Finn Whitman, an ordinary Orlando teenager was one of the chosen models for the program. When the five teenagers are asleep, they go into the world of Disneyland as their DHI holograms where they are met by Wayne, an Imagineer (one of the people who thought up the DHI program). Wayne talks about an attack from some of the Disney characters called Overtakers. Every parent in the city asks why the "Its A Small World" ride was damaged by "vandals"? That was Finn and one of the other hosts trying to escape the dolls from attacking them! The real reason Disney invented the DHIs was that the holograms were the only way Disney could find information about the Overtakers (as they are invisible to normal people). The funny thing is that when the kids wake up the injuries from their "dreams" are real! Ridley Pearson is the co-author for the Peter and the Starcatchers series and this magical book. So plop down on your couch and start reading!
