Book Review: Kingdom Keepers II
There are very few things in this world that hold my captivation like Walt Disney World. Quoting from a recent church sermon I heard recently, “God is #1, Sarah-Irene (my wife) is #2,” but I would probably say that after family and friends, Walt Disney World ranks pretty high on my list (in the 4-5 range).
So when author Ridley Pearson penned Kingdom Keepers: Disney At Dark, I was excited to follow the exploits of the Kingdom Keepers, a group of kids recruited to help save the Magic Kingdom. I listened to every word, because I listened to it on audio book on one of my MANY trips between Tampa and Atlanta. It was a “kids” book, but following in the path of Harry Potter and Eragon, Kingdom Keepers was a great read/listen for kids AND adults.
When I heard that Pearson was writing another book, I couldn’t wait. And finally I got my hands on Kingdom Keepers II: Disney At Dawn, and it was just as enjoyable as the first.
What is Kingdom Keepers II: Disney At Dawn about? I thought that I would let the author tell you himself…
What did I think? I loved it, it was about Disney. Was it rocket science? Nope, but that’s not why you read a book like this…you read it to escape, and escape I did. It was a great story and I cannot wait to explore Animal Kingdom to see all the little hidden secrets revealed in the book.
Sarah read it in a day and a half…which is awesome. I am so glad that we share the love of reading and Disney.
It’s not a perfect book, there are some plot holes and a few “scratch your head” moments, but overall, it was a fun, exciting Summer roller-coaster ride. Well worth your time to read and enjoy!
By the way, Kingdom Keepers III comes out September of 2009, and THIS time, I believe the Kingdom Keepers will be going “Hollywood”!
