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”!
