Product Description: It's supposed to be a happy day at the Magic Kingdom--the return of the teenaged holographic hosts. But things go very wrong when a sudden lightning storm disrupts the celebration, and Amanda's mysterious sister, Jez, disappears. The only clue is the sighting of a wild monkey in the Magic Kingdom during the storm. The mystery deepens as Finn is contacted by Wayne, an old man he hasn't heard from in months. Wayne tells Finn that there's trouble at the Animal Kingdom: the evil Overtakers have gained control of one of the computer servers that will be used to operate Daylight Holographic Imaging there. That means that if any of the holographic hosts fall asleep, they will go into comas--permanently. Filled with action and brimming with the same meticulous detail as The Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark, this second book in the series--Disney at Dawn--is the result of hands-on research behind the scenes at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. Young and older readers alike will get a glimpse into a second Disney kingdom. The wild rides have only just begun; and the clock is ticking. How long can the teens keep themselves awake in their quest to find their friend--and what happens if they fail?
A wonderful book that you will read over and over I highly recommend this book, for all ages. This book is the second of the Kingdom Keepers. I hear that the third Kindgom Keepers which takes place in Epcot will be coming out in August 2009. I read through this book in 2 days since I could not put it down. My husband who doesnt read anything read this book! I hope that they turn this into a movie it would be amazing. If you are a Disney fan of any age you will appreciate this book.
Great Prequel, Not So Great Sequel The first book, Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark, was a great book. Perfectly done, great story, cool characters, and awesome idea. Disney at Dawn takes the first one, and recycles the idea. Now the story is a lot grimmer in many ways and not nearly as amazing. However, Kingdom Keepers 2 keeps that charm that makes the first one so great. The ideas are a little stupid (such as everything depending on a virtual sword fight), we only get to see one new Overtaker(Chernabog) along with the silly return of Malificent, and the thing about the rides coming to life is taken away. Plus, the Animal Kingdom has replaced the Magic Kingdom as the main part of the story. Also, the whole story takes place in one day and they are not holograms and there is an annoying cliffhanger ending where nothing gets resolved. This book is worth reading once if your Kingdom Keeper fan or not, but there are far better books out there.
A fast-paced action-filled fantasy evolves Christopher Lane's smooth audio narration and seasoned style lends to a fine story of a vanished sister in the Magic Kingdom, a mystery man, and trouble at the Animal Kingdom where evil Overtakers have gained control of computers used to operate Daylight Holographic Imaging. A fast-paced action-filled fantasy evolves in a story set at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park.
very entertaining book I bought this for my 10 yr. old accelerated reader for Christmas. She enjoyed the first book but, says the second is even better and this is now her favorite book now.
Well what can I say This sequel to The Kingdom Keepers is very possibly the most perfect way to continue the series it is just like the first book. If you like the first then you'll love this one or vise versa.
