I love to read! When I have the opportunity to get lost in a really good book, I soak up the chance.  I am constantly looking for must-read book series especially during the summer months. That is exactly what I found with the Kingdom Keepers series!

Full disclosure…..I am a huge Harry Potter fan.  It took me a bit to jump on the bandwagon, but once I did, I read all 7 books in just under 3 weeks (all while working and raising a 2-year-old).  Yes, there were a LOT of sleepless nights when I just couldn’t put the books down.  I tell you this so that you will understand my love of young adult fiction series. One of my favorite things is to get to know the characters of a good book so well that I feel emotionally connected to them.

On one of our trips to Walt Disney World, I found the Kingdom Keepers series by Ridley Pearson. What could be better than a book series focused on my favorite place?!?! I bought it immediately and quickly devoured that one so that I could buy book two.  The series centers around five teenagers hired by Disney to be hologram guides within the parks, but at night, the teens crossover into the parks to protect what Walt has built.  They find themselves battling villains and aligning with heroes to protect the magic of Disney.

Ridley Pearson has done a beautiful job of transporting you to Disney every time you crack open the cover! While reading, I can picture walking through the parks, and I often wonder if the “secret” areas that he describes really exist.  You will fall in love with the characters and become immersed in the story.
