KINGDOM KEEPERS V
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.
KINGDOM KEEPERS VI
As their sail aboard the Disney Dream's inaugural passage through the
new Panama Canal continues, the Kingdom Keepers face a dark journey that
will challenge the bonds of friendship and trust.
Events on and off the ship endanger not only the celebrated Disney
Hosts, but the passengers and crew as well. Maleficent and the Evil
Queen are clearly on a quest to assemble the parts of a puzzle found in
the pages of a secret journal. As the Kingdom Keepers decipher and
discover the truth of each piece, the horror of what's to come
escalates. From the caves of Aruba to a zip line in Costa Rica, from the
jungles of Mexico to the main stage of the ship's Walt Disney Theatre,
the Keepers are tricked, challenged, and threatened in their efforts to
stop the Overtakers.
Facing these unforeseen dangers impels the Keepers to try to make sense
of disconnected clues, to navigate both the massive ship and the
unfamiliar terrain of Caribbean islands and jungle, and to wonder about
the validity of friendships long since forged. The Kingdom Keepers are
pushed deeper into an ever-darkening reality toward a destructive force,
dormant for decades, that may yet rise to power once more.
According to plan, one of the five Kingdom Keepers is to be this
monster's first victim.
