Synopsis

As the five Kingdom Keepers enter high school, everything is about to change. The Maintenance Base that controls all four parks in Disney World is under attack by the Overtakers, a group determined to change Disney forever. Relationships between the Keepers are no longer as simple as they once were. In fact, nothing is as simple as it once was.An after-hours visit to Typhoon Lagoon is a game changer. The Keepers lose one of their most valuable supporters. But there’s work to do.… The Disney Dream leaves Port Canaveral on a historic cruise to Los Angeles with a special treat in store for guests: the Disney Host Interactive teenage guides are on board.Finn, Maybeck, Charlene, Willa, and Philby join celebrity guests as the DHI experience moves to one of the most advanced cruise ships in the world.But all is not right belowdecks. Strange things are happening. Unexplained phenomena. Only the Kingdom Keepers know the truth behind their invitation to be in attendance: nearly every Disney villain is aboard the ship, including Maleficent.The Overtakers have infiltrated the cast and crew. And no one knows what they have planned.The Dream sets sail filled with enthusiastic guests and crew. But not for long. Maleficent takes over a video screen and warns the guests of trouble to come. With the ship arriving at the beaches of Castaway Cay—its first of many exotic ports of call—the Kingdom Keepers are under attack; back home the Base is threatened and about to fall. The Overtakers have expanded in ways never foreseen, and it’s clear they intend to use this element of surprise to accomplish what has eluded them so far: victory.But not if Finn Whitman and friends have anything to say about it.

Goodreads review by Ginnie on April 26, 2012

The ending went like this: First, I stared at the words in shock. Second, I went, "Huh?" Third, I screamed. Fourth, I ran downstairs, cursing (well, more like complaining loudly and with emotion, no actual swears) Ridley as I went. I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR???!!!!! Other than that, I did enjoy it.

Goodreads review by Drew on June 16, 2015

DISCLAIMER: I admit this review is kind of overlong and rambly, but considering the book I'm reviewing, it seems quite fitting indeed. Those rascally kids known as the Kingdom Keepers are at it again, and this time their mission to defend Walt Disney's theme park world from the Overtakers leads them......more

Here's what happened at the end: I yelled, Di immortalis!!! Then I screamed. Then I almost burst into tears Then I yelled, WILLA!!!! Anyway, it was the best book in the series so far! I LOVED IT!

Goodreads review by Denae on February 14, 2017

These are hard to rate. There are moments of cleverness (stopped by a hair, electricity's effects) and always a neat idea or two, but they are overall bland to me. The same things keep happening over and over (OTs taking over, KKs keeping the kingdom, OTs plan a trap, KKs get trapped or trap them ba......more

Goodreads review by Flew on August 08, 2012

There was so much that Pearson could have done with these books. The idea was solid. The first book was great. Unfortunately the farther into them we go, the more they don't seem planned at all, but just a haphazard mixture of experiences the Kingdom Keepers have. Each book doesn't really give any kn......more
