Kingdom Keepers involves a magical place, Disney. There, in the Magic Kingdom, the tour guides are called DHIs, standing for Disney Hosts Interactive and Daylight Hologram Imaging. The 5 kids that are DHIs are Finn, Charlene, Maybeck, Philby, and Willa. Together they have to stop the Overtakers, a group of villains from the Disney parks such as Maleficent. This was an amazing book full of magic, suspense, and secrets.

What would you do if you had the chance to roam Disney Parks after dark? Finn Whitman is an Orlando teen who gets to do just that, along with four of his friends. Finn, Charlene, Willa, Maybeck, and Philby are connected for a special reason. They were all chosen to be a part of the DHI (Disney Hosts Interactive) program. At first this means filming and having hologram copies of themselves roam Disney's Magic Kingdom as tour guides, but as they all soon realize, it is more than that. The DHIs were created to save Disney, and the world as we know it, from a mysterious enemy group called the Overtakers. The question is, will they be able to? Read this exciting, action-packed, first installment of the Kingdom Keepers to find out.

This book was great. It has a really unique idea in how the park comes to life and there are villains. I like the imagination in how there are holograms that people can turn into in their sleep. It’s like having superpowers, except in a funny and unpredictable way. I really liked this book.
