Gr 5–8—With the defeat of the Overtakers behind them, the five teenagers known as the Kingdom Keepers have their futures set. Finn, however, has a nagging feeling that not everything is as it seems. The fountain pen the teens used to save the Magic Kingdom is not on the archive list for Walt Disney's desk. When he finds some coded messages from his late friend Wayne, Finn realizes that there is an unknown evil trying to destroy the Magic Kingdom, but the other Kingdom Keepers don't believe him. Can Finn convince them that danger remains? Macleod Andrews's original narrative style brings Finn's world to life. Andrews easily navigates between the past and present and seamlessly flows between action and dialogue scenes.
VERDICT Listeners who love fantasy, adventure, and mystery will enjoy this fast-paced book. And though it is the first book in a spin-off series, this opener will especially appeal to fans of the author's "Kingdom Keepers" books.
